Hmm…….
The Council spokesweasel needs to read the Council's own website before he/she/it submits his/she's/it's weasel words to the press. The
baastards won't let me link to their poxy website so we'll have to do it the hard way. Google 'ceredigion council', click 'your council', then 'resident' tab, 'travel roads and parking', 'parking & civil enforcement', 'annual parking report', then finally, phew!, click the annual report 2013 - 2014, and scroll down to 2.0 Civil Parking Enforcement in Ceredigion, 2.1 Aims and Objectives, bullet point 5,
"Support the local economy by ensuring a turnover of the free time limited parking spaces available."Once you have finished banging your head against the wall, then scroll further down to 3.0, the central paragraph,
"Parking charges are variable and designed to reflect both the nature of the car park and its location. Variable charging is a tool that enables the Authority to encourage use of particular car parks, especially by commuters and all day visitors."That doesn't seem to accord with
"parking charges must be 'consistent' in all towns" You may want to stop there as 4.0 will really piss you off,
"Ceredigion County Council’s Parking Service is one that is supported by enforcement rather than led by enforcement.* Contrary to popular belief……………." One has to wonder how popular belief came to be popular belief in the first place. Any ideas?
*their bold by the way. Ordinarily, I would bold stupid statements but I was beaten to it on this occasion.
