Say No to Labour's Parking Tax

The Issue

From next year the Labour council, in its wisdom, wants to charge every Hospital, School, Factory, Business or Organisation in Leicester with more than 10 car parking spaces £550 a year per parking space.
Labour's so-called “workplace parking levy” is nothing more than a shameless attack on the wages of all the hardworking people of Leicester.
There appears to be an agenda among some members of the Labour led council who want to hit the pay packets of Leicester's hard pressed motorists and price shift workers off the road.
The Labour council has made some irrational and illogical justifications for the requirements of the proposed parking tax including incomprehensible references to the roads in Leicester being built on a Roman footprint and constraints on the city . We can all make bizarre historical references but things have moved on so we need to deal with the 'Here and Now' in post pandemic Leicester and the cost of living crisis in 2022. Not AD 160.
The cost of living crisis is already becoming unmanageable so the last thing the workers of Leicester need is a 'Loony Labour' council taxing them £550 for simply parking at work.
