Driving into town yesterday, I drove past the council offices and being Saturday, there were literally hundreds of empty car spaces.
Yet, 200 yards down the road, you have to pay to park to go shopping.
As Council tax payers, do we have a right to park in these spaces at weekends when no one from the council is working?
Any one agree that we should be able to use them for free? If so, I mght start a petion on the gopvernment website.

On a similar but different subject, a neighbour recently had a garage and driveway built in their garden but still park both their cars on the pavement outside their house. Not all motorists are unfairly targeted.
Yes, I agree empty council car parks should be available for free to ease parking congestion.

You will find that certain council staff car parks can be used at weekends. For your information there are ALWAYS Council Staff Working regardless of the time/day of the week.

Instead of all the moaning and whinging that people do in this country, why not ask a councillor? Go to www.directgov.gov.uk, find your councillor and hassle them? It's your civic duty!

Just one of many 'perks' for working for the local authority.
