So, the public have paid over � 565m in parking fines in 2011-2012 Westminster the leader collecting �41.6m (MPs claiming them as expenses???) Not surprisingly Brighton top City collecting � 14.4m Will we ever know how much Lewes collected.
�565m would fill a lot of pot holes and re surface a fair few miles of road wouldn't it ?

The Parking Scheme is run by ESCC and a commercial profit making partner, though it is not clear how profits are distributed since we haven't had any improvements. Maybe the Lewes CPZ is still making a loss. Both scenarios raise serious questions . Norman Baker is supposed to be the transport expert. How many people have to tell him that they have had enough before he does his job and vocally challenges the failure to address problems? Both he , and our Councillors should be reminded, since they seem to have completely forgotten, that a Council is not a self governing dictatorship. It is paid for by, and exists for the benefit of tax-paying residents, not car parking management businesses.
