Councillor Brian Coleman explains why he has hiked up parking charges in Barnet

Councillor Jack Cohen asked Brian Coleman for a justification for his decision to hike parking charges. Here is the full exchange, with Colemans explanation.


Question 8 Councillor Jack Cohen
At the December meeting of the Business Management Overview and Scrutiny Committee
meeting Members were informed that “Parking Enforcement” is in “melt down”. Do you accept
responsibility or do you blame your predecessor?
Answer by Councillor Brian Coleman
I blame circumstances.

I presume those circumstances are the election of a completely incompetent Conserative administration last May and the appointment of Coleman into a job beyond his capabilities

Think this example of Coleman's sparkling wit is actually from the Q&A for tonight's meeting, so perhaps he will charm us all with further illumination of these dark forces, or 'circumstances' ...
