South Hams Council introduce revenue based enforcement
« on: 20 April, 2014, 08:51:13 AM »
It appears that Devon is separate to the rest of the UK so therefore can ignore UK central government and use parking enforcement specifically to raise revenue. The council weasels have been telling the local press all about their impressive business sense,

The South Hams Council executive has now decided to take on an extra two civil enforcement officers to fill the gaps left by the shake-up, at £22,447 per post.
But councillors were told that the expenditure will be covered by the expected income from parking fines, which is estimated at £26,000 per officer.
A report to the executive declared: ‘While the proposals represent an additional two full-time-equivalent posts, the financial impact is reduced because the income generated by civil enforcement officers equates to approximately £26,000 per post against the total employee cost, including shift allowance on-costs, of £22,447.
‘This cost-neutral position will be closely monitored and annually reviewed so, should civil enforcement officers cease to sustain a cost-neutral position, the resource can be reduced until a cost-neutral position has been re-established.'

So what does all this old cobblers sound like when translated into BPA-speak*?

The council will now be pre$erving the $afety of children and keeping traffic moving. If incon$iderate motori$t$ don't pay their $tealth taxe$ then the council will bring the area to complete gridlock and commence murdering children. If it become$ apparent that the council can cover the co$t of a wea$el, an exorbitant BPA annual fee and still have enough left over for a $crumpy fuelled pi$$ up then traffic flow and child $afety will once again become the order of the day.

*The politically correct term for complete bullshit.

Appealing to the council is like playing chess with a pigeon. You might be a chess grand master but the pigeon will always knock all the pieces over, shit on the board and then strut around triumphantly.
