Might I also add something to the above ?

As a result Councils have simply stolen the streets and are busy renting these back to the Electorate from whom they have been stolen ; And recklessly killing Businesses in the process , without conscience or remorse ; And charging ever increasing rents for the streets which they have hi-jacked ; And causing no end of stress to the Public who simply cannot go about their daily lives because City access is being constricted by Council greed ; Especially damaging across a whole range of areas , from Village Shops to London’s West End .
This is unacceptable : It is alleged that this wide-spread practice may even be a form of “money laundering ” ; It is terrible now ; It can and will only get worse ; It must be remedied at the highest level possible ; Many have publicly railed against the symptoms ; Might the above be one of the main roots of causation perhaps ?

In a London Evening Standard Article , 2 December 2011 , “ Westminster’s parking plan will stifle West End culture ” , Lord Tony Hall , CEO Royal Opera House , asks : ” The only question remaining is : Why isn’t Westminster listening ? ” . Based upon considerable research , might I suggest that the answer is most likely to be as follows :-
They are not listening because they are attempting a “ cover-up ” of a country-wide Council scam .
This has all the symptoms of a ” cover-up ” to a scam , and it is the “ symptoms ” which are being reported .
Since Council’s have taken over the collection of parking fines from the Police , evidence exists of many hundreds of Small Businesses being damaged Country wide .
Since the introduction of Civil Parking Enforcement , Council’s Parking Policies have been aimed at making excessive use of Parking Restrictions – especially Single & Double Yellow lines .
Councils are using these simply to increase Council Revenue , rather than such Parking Restrictions being used for the proper purposes for which Parliament intended , being in the main for avoiding danger & easing congestion .
In their excessive zeal for extra Revenue Councils are often by-passing the prescribed Statutory Procedures in the process , which in other circumstances might be classed as “ money laundering ” .
