Westminster Council forced new measures through last night which means that those who wish to go in the centre shopping with their cars can no longer park on Sunday as they have been able to do before unless they pay more than £4 an hour.
In addition parking restrictions will be extended until midnight every weekday. This will of course affect those who may go to the theatre or clubbers.
Westminster Councils brigadier brigade have argued that these measures are necessary as they find it difficult to park their 3 range rovers every night without having to compete for space with the proletariat who visit the town.
This is an idiotic move and it will mean that trade in the area will suffer as people will chose to use other centres. It will affect large department stores, restaurants, theatres and clubs. Its all very well to say use public transport but when the tube stops at 12 midnight it is incredibly difficult to make it back!
Westminster was wrong to make this change and I hope they will soon realise this and reverse the measure.
