Council Fat Cat car park disgrace

The top Lib Dem's 16 highly paid executives all get cheap, subsidised parking at the Civic Centre as well.

Today, the coalition calls on them to make the top floor of the Civic Centre car park a public car park - which would generate an extra £80,000 for the council and strip their Fat Cat executives of their parking subsidy.

Lots of people don't know that most council money comes from central government and local charges, like for car parks. Surely the Lib Dem's should respond to our local grassroots campaign and cut the waste by opening up the Main Civic upstairs car park from Monday to Friday. Maybe we could protect frontline jobs, or not put up care charges for old and vulnerable people, with the extra money?
