And they want to do away with public consultation for simple things, racking up the charges are the simple things they are talking about, these twats want to just dictate.
Quote-: We want to ensure that penalty charges throughout the United Kingdom are set to ensure compliance with parking controls and minimise the subsidising of parking enforcement by local council tax payers. Penalty charges in England, outside London, have not been reviewed since 2001. In London, Scotland and Wales they have been reviewed in 2010/11. There is an urgent need to review the penalty charges set for England since they often fail to act as a deterrent and sometimes encourage non-compliance with traffic management and parking rules. This is costly and unfair on council tax payers who will be subsidising parking enforcement and undermines effectiveness of local transport policies. Penalty charges should be reviewed at least every four years to ensure they remain effective.Yeah right what a complete load of Bull Sh*t in every case you would care to look at the Local Authority is making millions of Pounds out of PCN,s . And in every case they are using PCNs to fill black holes in their budgets.It seems to me the BPA are a bunch of self appointed self serving shysters .
A brief look at the BPA website will confirm that they are indeed involved with the Local Authorities in fact if you look at the list of BPA,s own Council listed here you will find a few mentioned.http://www.britishparking.co.uk/BPA-Council-2010-11
