HERE WE ARE AGAIN…WESTMINSTER COUNCIL TAX ON GOD AND THE WEST END.

As if people of the UK and business small and medium are not already under the yoke and pressures of the theft that has been jointly perpetrated by the Government and the bank’s. These very same institutions smugly patting themselves on the back for prosecuting benefit cheats; which in terms of money and savings to the state is less then they spend on there expense issued credit cards, and not a single prosecution of these porcine swilling champagne charlies stealing our very lives… NOW WE HAVE WESTMINSTER COUNCIL WANTING TO STEAL YET MORE OF OUR MONEY… TAXING OUR NIGHT LIFE. The question begs why. Could it be to do with the up-coming redundancies and pay off’s that Westminster has to offload? where the ROI on this tax is remarkably similar to the funds needed to fill this gaping gash, but how are they going to be able to pay this when the is no money in the council pot could it be that some dullard of a PR Councillor came up with a way to fix this hole? I so hope not. From my limited understanding monies from Parking can only be used for :2.1 Most of central London, together with Outer London town centres are now covered by Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs).

2.2 Parking spaces in CPZs are controlled by the use of Resident’s Permits, Business Permits and Parking Charges all of which generate income for the Council. The Traffic Management and Parking Guidance for London issued by the Government Office for London in 1998 stated that the level of parking charges must be set for traffic management purposes. The primary purpose should be to ration available space and ensure there is a rapid turnover of parking spaces rather than to maximise revenue. The Guidance also states that permit charges should at a minimum cover the cost of operating and enforcing the permit system, but there is no reason to prevent a local authority rationing permits by price.

2.3 The rationale for the parking charging policy and the differential pricing policy is
included in Appendix 5.

2.4 The 1984 Road Traffic Regulation Act (section 55) limits how any surpluses generated from on-street parking activities can be spent. The Act states that any surplus must firstly be used to pay off any deficit from previous years after which surpluses can be used for :
(i) The provision and maintenance of off-street parking facilities,
(ii) The provision or operation of public passenger transport,
(iii) Highway or road improvements.
(iv) If surpluses are not applied at the end of the financial year the
funds can be carried forward to be applied to one of the above
purposes in the future.
This Act was slightly amended by the GLA Act 1999 it states that surpluses can now be used to facilitate the implementation of the London Transport Strategy’

YOU ARE BEING WATCHED WESTMINSTER AND ARE ALREADY IN THE HIGH COURTS FOR MANY CASES WASTING OUR MONIES. CITIZENS of the UK, AND RESIDENTS OF WESTMINSTER wake up and grow some balls…Fight for you rights…STOP THEM NOW… One answer maybe to put our council/business tax in a escrow account and go to the courts with statement of Intent stating that we will not release these funds until the council categorically states what it is going to do with this extra parking income. I wonder how long it would take before they u-turned?  People we have the legal power if only we had the intent to use it…Where has our fighting nature gone? Well I suppose none of it really matters as Westminster will go ahead and we will just be sheep.

I do not know about you but current events are strangely echoing back to the period just before the to World Wars are we heading for hyper-inflation?…
