Parking rip off (again) - 40% increase in charges

Sorry, if the council want to break the law, it isn't up to me to remind them of their failings.

It has since been referred to the Information Commisionaer's Office.

what was the outcome?

I guess parking charges are always something to be moaned about wherever you live. When I moved to Lichfield from Sheffield nine years ago the locals here told me how expensive parking was until I pointed out to them that you could only park in Sheffield for half an hour for what they were paying for a whole day in Lichfield.
