Barnet's new road supremo - Count Dracula?


A shocking story in the Times today. Barnet Council is disregarding national guidelines on bus lane markings. What this means is that the broken lines marking the start of the lane is not properly tapered. This means motorists do not have ample time to move into the non restricted lane. Why would the council do such a thing? Because it has netted them £680,000 in fines. Is this illegal? No. Is it immoral? Most definately. Barnet Council bangs endlessly on about how it cares about motorists, how it loves to rip out road humps. They remind me of Dracula seducing virgins before bleeding them dry. Barnet makes more out of parking than any other council, now we find out they are conning us on bus lane fines. Tory Council Leader but it seems that the story in Barnet is the same old one of stealth taxes.

Who knows, given the paucity of talent in the new Barnet Council cabinet, he'd probably be a welcome edition.
