Surfing the Waive!!

I see from the Environmental Services Committee meeting next week that the parking waive criteria since October 2005 has been a £75,000 loss of income to Council Tax payers in general, though a saving to first-time parking offenders.

However I assume that there will be all-party consensus on the Council to now maintain this policy. Indeed Colin Hall gave a public commitment for the lifetime of this Council.

Now she is not on Strategy Committee, I also assume Eleanor Pinfold will leave this issue to her colleagues to make any comments or representations on, rather than her previous approach on this issue. Ask Tony Shields for what happened in October 2005 or trawl the letters page of the Guardian through November for the saga.
