Random rant of the day

I was just reading the local new (because I’m a complete news junkie) and discovered, to my complete horror, that the local council will be probably be removing the free parking spaces over the summer. What a bloody con! How can they justify raking away the free parking when they completely omit a park and ride from the west side of the city. It’s absolutely ridiculous!

If they put a P&R site in, I’d be all for it, but personally object to paying £5 to park for 10 hours! – Especially if there is no real alternative. It’s just another way of making money. Pay to park or pay even more for public transport It’d all about the council lining their own pockets. Yeah, yeah, they say its so ‘real’ park users not commuters get to use but, at the end of the day it all comes down to money. So what pensioners who can’t walk well can’t park anywhere. Half of them shouldn’t be driving anyway. Boo Hoo.

I know this makes me sound completely selfish, but hey could very easliy put some ‘Pay’ spaces in for those and leave other paces open for free. Then see where all these complaining people park!

AARRRRRGGHHHHHH!

ok, rant over…
