The Leader once again refused Roger Giles the opportunity to debate whether officers and councillors should be made to pay to park at Knowle.
EDDC’s recent survey of parking in the district maintained that people do not mind how much they pay as long as they can get a space.
The cheaper parking charges for Christmas have been extended because cheaper parking has led to an increase in income.
The “moral” of this story? There isn’t one, morals just don’t figure here, nor does common sense or justice.

For once, I agree with EDDC! There are enough lazy staff at Knowle who cannot be bothered to walk from their free car parks and so litter Knowle Drive with cars, usually on blind bends, usually on pavements – a slalom course of hazzards for those accessing Knowle Drive. Start charging for parking on site and the car parks will be empty and Knowle drive will be full, to the danger of Knowle Drive residents and vistors alike.
It doesn’t merit debate.
