Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 1 June 2007

Who will pay for this poll?

• I WOULD like to ask Councillor Lucy Watt if the £90,000 cost of the referendum on higher parking charges for gas-guzzling cars should come out of the parking charges (tickets) or out of the council tax?
And will residents who do not pollute at all – by not having a car – be given the money back in their council tax that all the polluters are going to pay?
Also, it’s funny that the biggest polluters are going to pay more to park when we all know cars don’t pollute when they are parked, only when they are on the move.
Will the council have a referendum on all the charges to Islington council tax-payers? I don’t think so!
