Labours claims about making parking fairer were left in tatters after Lambeth Council officers released figures showing a huge increase in the number of tickets issued in the first four months of 2007.

Over thirteen thousand more tickets were issued in that period compared with the corresponding period in 2006 with over nine thousand extra tickets being issued as a result of CCTV. This follows the Labour council’s decision to again start using the cameras in Wandsworth Road to issue tickets, something the previous Conservative/Lib Dem administration had stopped.

“The figures speak for themselves” said former Lambeth Councillor Bernard Gentry. “They said they would make parking fairer yet all they have done is persecute residents with even more draconian parking enforcement. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
