Nope they jumped all over Leave. It was Remain they would not investigate even though they were provided with a dossier of evidence.

Both sides behaved despicable in the run up to the referendum, I know that
many EU citizens were extremely critical of the over simplistic ways the two sides campaigned, in my view making fun of the electorate and not treating us to the truth. There are many pros and cons and they made it seem like some kind of no brain thing one way or the other, no wonder everybody was perplexed.

It is not a binary choice. Vote Leave were fine £61,000 for their breach of the rules. They didn't breach the rules, The High Court said they did. and they were exonerated The maximum fine for any one offence is £20,000. A total of £61,000 means that they were fined for at least four offences. The High Court only considered one of those offences, in relation to money given to BeLeave,. It found they had acted illegally, but with the mitigating circumstances that they had received misleading advice from the Electoral Commission. That is not being exonerated. Then, of course, we also have Leave EU, which was fined £70,000 for four separate offences. According to your link, DDB have been fined a total of £2,800. It still looks as though the leave campaigners were much more culpable. It looks liek te electoiral comissionon picked on soemone top show they were 'impartial' and didnt exact any penalties They actually fined more remain organisations than leave organisations. However, the former were mostly for minor accounting or reporting errors, which was reflected in the much lower fines. You were lied to. Mostly by the Leave campaign.

We were polled recently re making quite a large area of the locality permit parking. Because the issue of commuters using the area as a park-and-ride, the main issue is only seen by those very near the station and who are there during the day. They go out in their car and can't park near their house upon return. Those leaving their cars at home and using the train to get to work, or driving and only returning after the rush hour aren't so affected. So, AFAIK, nothing has been done about the parking scheme because in reality, it would make the lives of many many people more complicated and expensive and so few returned the poll. It had to cover a fairly large radius from the station or it would only push the problem outwards, potentially affecting more people and especially those who chose *not* to live that close to the station for those very reasons. So, like Brexit, very few people actually wanted it and a few more could be persuaded / suckered into going along with it because they are on the margins or know someone who is affected by it and who might not have a car themselves (or have off-road-parking sufficient for them and their visitors / family etc). What would be *better* of course is to provide adequate parking capacity near the railway or reduce the rates if the existing parking isn't fully utilised. What they shouldn't do is push the problem onto people who may not be using the station in the first place but making it easier for people to park and ride, if that is better for the environment.

You have to look at it from the council's side. It will be presented as a means to ease parking in the area. But in reality, a way of generating new income. So the area they poll will include that close to the station where locals would be relatively happy to pay to ensure parking, out as far as where they have no need to - but get the balance right in the council's favour. Easily seen round here where the zones show just that. And once you have to pay, a new zone will be created further out, as those in the edge of the old zone will simply park outside of it for free. It would likely be very difficult to provide adequate parking at a station at low cost or free. Because more commuters would choose to use that station. My brother tells the story of their local hospital. Parking is fairly adequate (unlike many hospitals) but cost quite a bit. It is now free, and you have little chance of finding a space. You'd certainly not rely on finding one if driving yourself to an appointment. -- *Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Locals have no more right to park outside their house than anyone else! Point taken. But we live 200 metres from a station, with only on-street parking. It's a pain. I don't mind parking 'only somewhere near' (and in fact that's the norm as there aren't enough spaces anyway) but I would like to park within a few hundred metres of where I live. Less of an issue for me now; I simply avoid going out (mostly) until the commuters have arrived, and/or stick the car nearby after they've gone home. The station halved the size of the car park, too, which doesn't help. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

What would be *better* of course is to provide adequate parking capacity near the railway I guess you could builld more land. or reduce the rates if the existing parking isn't fully utilised. and make less money doesn;t seem very practicle. What they shouldn't do is push the problem onto people who may not be using the station in the first place but making it easier for people to park and ride, Great idea but how. if that is better for the environment. It would be better for the enviroment if the majoroty of petrol/diesel cars were banned from cities. you either get an electric car or learn how to walk or bike it. Cheers, T i m |

So, AFAIK, nothing has been done about the parking scheme because in reality, it would make the lives of many many people more complicated and expensive and so few returned the poll. Around my way a similar poll about parking had a good response. Possibly because many people realised that similar schemes in the town had resulted in residents having to pay for the permits plus it didn't guarantee a parking space, let alone one outside their own house.

Yes, that was my reply when a local Counselor asked me. As a result the idea about resident parking permits was dropped. As it should, when only a minority show an interest in it. ;-) However, if a Brexiteer was counting the votes, a return of 3 for versus 2 against out of a population of 10,000 would mean it would be carried. Democracy in action etc. ;-) Cheers, T i m |
