They simply cannot be trusted.<br /><br />An independent body should be set-up to decide where parking restrictions are needed and enforce them on a no-profit basis. (although, I would not mind if such profits where put into building traffic free cycle lanes and secure cycle parking).<br /><br />Just look at Newham Council, they are charge £2 per hour to park in car parks, which is killing local shops and markets. Plus the new Westfield Stratford is offering 2 hours free parking (or 7 hours free parking until 31 Oct, if you sign up on the web). The Mayor of Newham has the cheek to complain that there are too many fried chicken shops, after high streets have closed down.<br /><br />It costs 89p per hour to rent a flat in Newham, compared to £2 an hour to park your car in Newham!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-85272698872033498832011-10-25T00:36:05.975+01:002011-10-25T00:36:05.975+01:00It is good news extra tickets will be available.
...It is good news extra tickets will be available. <br /><br />However, perhaps for those that will still not get tickets to teh opening ceremony. Perhaps, a few alternative entertainment events could be organised after the olympics, so that some of us can get to see the Olympic stadium.<br /><br />It would be a shame if the the Olympic Stadium is demolished or turned into a turnip farm or whatever its fate.... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-39891863120249296382011-10-19T15:16:29.587+01:002011-10-19T15:16:29.587+01:00I shall have no problem with local traffic during ...I shall have no problem with local traffic during the games.
