The Liberal Democrat Authority at SLDC have introduced completely non-sensical overnight parking charges.
After having to perform a u-turn on the rate of the charges, thanks to huge Conservative opposition and the fact that enough Liberal Democrat Councillors rebelled, the over night rate has been dropped to £1 between 6pm and 8am. The Liberal Democrat Cabinet also had to back down on full day time charges until 10pm. This is the kind of opposition Conservative Councillors can and do bring to the non-sensical decision making process at SLDC. It is still appalling that the Cabinet decided to go anywhere with these charges as the cost of policing these charges will heavily outstrip any potential cash benefit. Another money wasting and ill-thought out scheme from SLDC!
