Arguing for Higher Parking Permit Charges at Speakers Corner

Well Islington Council set up a mock Speakers Corner complete with some Emily Pankhurst lookalikes on Tuesday 5th on Islington Green and Roger Lawson from the Association of British Drivers and I used megapahones to shout at each other. Needless to say the ABD are against higher charges but seemed to drop their previous stand that climate change wasn't happening. Anyway it was all pretty relaxed. Be interesting to see what the local papers make of it. Let's hope more people go out and vote.

    In the event the poll was 56% in favour of the new parking charge. This gives the council a mandate to go ahead with the scheme. Hopefully it will reassure them (and other councillors) that residents are aware of the need to make difficult decisions in the light of the crisis on climate change.
