Sir, [to Acc Observer 15 Mar 05]

I have been comparing the Councils budget and quotes by the Conservative Leader of the Council Peter Britcliffe over On & Off Street Parking Fines. Cllr Britcliffe accused the wardens of being 'over zealous' and that he would take issue with Lancashire County Council. The 'its always somebody else's fault' scenario.

Funny then that on the same day that the papers were printing his 'so called concerns', he was urging his Tory colleagues to earn an extra £27,500 in street parking fines despite knowing that the wardens had exceeded their quota so far.

These figures can be found tucked away in the final budget papers in appendix 4 under the section budget savings, entitled 'increased income from on street & off street parking fines'.
