Objections on parking

A very big thank you to the Express & Star for reporting the New Labour council's decision to unleash yet another set of stealth tax gatherers (24 parking attendants) to the streets of Wolverhampton.

Of course the brazen aim is to criminalise law-abiding drivers who happen to live, like us, in properties built by the Victorians, and make a killing in the process, to waste in the way only they know how.

We have, on two occasions written to and petitioned the council to remove the single yellow line from our stretch of the Tettenhall Road.

We received replies stating that no decision had been taken to introduce parking vultures to Wolverhampton.

We have also offered to pay an annual fee for the introduction of a resident parking scheme as indeed they did along Birmingham New Road and Thompson Avenue, free of charge, several years ago.

In the knowledge that the council committee systems moves at a snail's pace, and that the council has an

obligation to uphold the democratic process, we demand that the introduction date be deferred until such objections, such as ours, are resolved.
