BUSINESSES are braced for an inflation-busting rise in the controversial workplace parking levy. From Monday, companies in Nottingham will have to pay £334 per car parking space – a 16 per cent rise on the £288 charged for the last 12 months. (29.03.13)
Now that the city council has obtained a firm grip on motorists with the WPL, is it really any surprise that, given time, they would squeeze harder?

Who in their right mind would set up a business in Nottingham? Is this rise going to happen every year?
Who is going to use the tram when the city centre becomes a ghost town with all the out-of-town shopping centres with free parking?

And still more double yellow lines are being put on roads to prevent the poor car-parking worker from avoiding this Labour infested con.

And they wonder why there is the don't want work culture. People are being taken for a complete ride and are starting to work for nothing. We're are taxed for every possible thing.

No point in complaining now. Anyone not aware two years ago what was going to happen deserves to pay up.
Any firm run properly should have moved out of the city by now, it is not as if you were not aware that the council has been persecuting motorists for many years.

POLICE say they are uncovering the true extent of the illegal growing of cannabis in Notts after a rise in tip-offs. Crimestoppers began a campaign in Notts last week to try to get people to spot clues that could suggest the drug is being produced near them. (29.03.13)
I can't believe all the negative press associated with cannabis. It is scientifically proven to be far less dangerous than alcohol and causes none of the social problems that alcohol does.
All you have to do is look at the city centre on any weekend night. The smokers I know like to sit in and relax with their mates, not go out, drink themselves stupid and create havoc. Decriminalise and control and you will have taken the organised crime element completely out the equation – and police time will be freed up to deal with real crime.
