the stupid sods are doing the whole inner m60 ring road, equivalent to making the whole inner m25 a toll. Only Stockport (lib dem) and trafford (conservative) objected. Making the centre a toll would be OK, this plan is stupid

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Originally posted by swampI'm not too familiar with Manchester, but a CC would kill trade in the city centre. This is why other cities haven't rushed to copy London so far (as initially predicted).
The answer is quite simple: put a tax on parking in the centre of congested towns and cities, and put the profit towards park-and-ride and public transport.Comment

Originally posted by piscesBig difference in cities I reckon. London being a major player in the finacial market and just about everything else means everyone just had to swallow it. Manchester won't be the same, a lot of people will seek jobs outside of the city. It could well backfireComment

Originally posted by swampWhat is the point in that? Surely most people live inside the outer ring road and would be exempt from the charge?!
It's the oldest trick in the book: Start with a big discount, to keep the plebs happy thinking they have a bargain, and then year by year increase it. For instance, a pound to a pinch of pig sh*t says the London discounted charge will go up from £1 per day to £2 per day next year.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
