| Don’t forget that it was Labour-run Ealing Council’s obsessive promotion of CPZs that led to a catastrophic loss of front gardens – and continues to do so. Confronted by huge CPZ charges, many residents took the logical step of concreting over their front gardens to provide them with free parking. As Ealing Council ratchets CPZ taxes ever higher, even more gardens will be lost. Bafflingly, our Labour-controlled council actually ENCOURAGES the concreting over of front gardens by artificially subsidising the cost of dropped kerbs. To put this in context: Ealing council charges a bargain £1,200 for this job. In fact, the real cost of providing a dropped kerb is more than £3,000. |
