I note Mr Barrow states in his resignation "I made the decision in the middle of last year to step down when I reached 60, to devote some time to writing and lecturing" Well, who exactly will be interested in his writing is beyond me, but at least he will no longer be able to pompously lecture Londoners about parking while retaining a space at WCC hall for his Maserati. Let's also make sure that these controls are shelved for good, and stop the current double yellowing currently taking place as I type this. I look forward to the political fate of Lee Rowley, whom I pointed out to on various comments pages that 95% of Londoners were against his plans. I stand corrected Lee, according to LBC it was 98%. Giving up that WCC Borough wide parking permit 18 months ago didn't fool anyone. We now need a thorough review of parking in London to keep the city vibrant and give businesses a fighting chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-72900291699456598702012-01-14T08:16:34.430+00:002012-01-14T08:16:34.430+00:00The press has a vital role to mobilise opinion whe...The press has a vital role to mobilise opinion when politicians in love with power and their own importance over step the mark<br /><br />In K&C we have plenty of examples of crass excess and abuse of power.
