I think thats fair enough, we will just have to protest a little harder to make up for the gap

Bikeparkingfees - epetition response

We received a petition asking:

“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to to ask Westminster council to scrap the charges for motorcycles to park in their borough.”

Details of Petition:

“This is an unfair tax and clearly not well thought out. It is an irresponsible reacton to people moving from cars to motorcycles as a cheaper and quicker and LESS congestive form of transport. The council obviously reacted to having to increase the number of spaces by charging which is counter productive to reducing the congestion in london. They should be promoting motorcycling not discouraging it.”

· Read the petition
· Petitions homepage
Read the Government’s response

The responsibility for parking matters in London – including the provision of motorcycle parking bays - generally rests with the relevant local authority, in this case Westminster Council. Under the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 local authorities are able to introduce parking payment schemes in their area. The implementation of such schemes, including the terms and methods of payment, is strictly a matter for the local authority concerned due to the fact that they are best placed to take account of local circumstances.

Just shows how useful the epetitions site is and why I dont respond to them any more - my total experience with the system is for them to wash their hands of the matter....

Got there with Camrider at 7:15pm.

No official would come out and speak to the bikers

Patient crowd

Police were on our side today, or so they said.

I don't know if we got the message across.
