Cost of parking permits up 267% in Lib Dem Camden

Camden Council has just ramped up charges for temporary parking permits outside residents’ houses for builders and plumbers from £9 to £33 a day in order to make even more cash out of residents.

This amounts to a staggering 267% increase. The justification? The Lib –Dem led council says it wants to make charges more “in line with Westminster”, the highest parking revenue collecting authority in the country!

Last year Camden Labour revealed that Camden Coucnil was making even more money than ever from parking. In 2007 Camden made £30 million from parking, up £8 million from 2006.
