West End Extra: Council the cowboys of wild Westminster?
« on: 10 January, 2011, 02:46:42 AM »
:dancing: Not entirely accurate but a good start

YOU’VE got to hand it to No To Mob – the group of bikers dedicated to warning road users about “confusing” signs in Westminster to save them from being hit with fines.

If nothing else, the two-wheelers know how to make an apparently tedious subject fun. Their latest video, released on YouTube over the festive holiday period, is inspired by a Cowboys and Indians flick.

It shows a biker on the trail of two of City Hall’s camera cars and the opening credits proclaim: “Featuring Westminster’s Highway Robbery Department.”

The video shows the council’s CCTV cars parking in Soho’s Golden Square – or “Golden ‘Goose’ Square” as the bikers have nicknamed it.

The No To Mob carry out “hunts” of camera cars on most weekends. They claim City Hall is “making a killing” by fining motorists who drive where it is not permitted at the junction of Lower James Street, Brewer Street and Sherwood Street.

Westminster City Council claim road signage is visible and easy for motorists to understand.

Many of the bikers wear masks from the film V for Vendetta, which is about an uprising against a totalitarian authority (to which they compare Westminster City Council).
