Nottingham City Council have a well known hate the motorist policy here.On street & car park charges very high.City centre area zoned so different zones pay different amounts, very confusing.Camera enforcement everywhere waiting quietly to catch the unsuspecting motorist / visitor to the city.Stop & leave the engine running even for a short time gets a FPN.Then the council's favourite toy the Workplace Parking Levy. Where your employer provides an employee car park then each car owner will pay £400 per year for that privilege.This is not just in the city centre but anywhere within the city boundary.The WPL was introduced to fund the new city tram, a white elephant vanity project thet no one wanted. Visitors love it but they don't get saddled with a loss of many £millions a year, this tram system will never be self sufficient.Then there is another Nottm City Council vanity project called Robin Hood energy, a not for profit energy company that too is in a financial mess losing £millions too.Nottingham City council tax payers are the fourth highest council tax payers in the UK.Now many other cities have suggested they may well introduce thier own WPL.Edinburgh & Manchester have shown an interest with others to follow.The council are big supporters of the LGBTQ+++++++ organisations recently painting a road in the city rainbow colours & painting city centre rubbish bins the rainbow colours too.With a student poulation of 60K who pay no council tax at all.Expensive car parking ? You don't know how lucky you are.PS I'm glad I don't drive anymore.
