  As if we are not paying enough already!! BBC News has found out following an investigation, that Councils throughout the country are seeking to rise parking fines so that they (all Councils) will be inline with the amount charged in fines by London. HMGovernment has been seriously lobbied to this effect and it appears this lobbying is getting a favourable response....so prepare to dig ever deeper!
  
  Outside the capital Local Authorities can only charge a maximum of £70...whereas in London they can charge up to £120.
  
  But it is outrageous to seek this rise at this time. Not only is it against the beleaguered motorist who already pays through the neck in massive taxes, but now they want to hike yet more out of his struggling wallet. This comes at a time when the citizen, thats you and me, is already strapped for cash...with wage cuts, tax rises, pay freezez, vat rises, job losses and so on.
  
  On top of that some numpty in Local Authority ought to check out the huge wage difference that exists between London and everywhere else.
  
  Sadly there is no information as of yet as to which Councils have applied for this punishing rise.
  Is Dover one of these councils??
