A CASH-STRAPPED council is set to slap car parking charges on families going for a day out at the beach.

So people should be able to drive and park anywhere (if it's 'public' land) for free?
No chance of 'council plans to recoup cost of providing parking so it has money to spend on other things'?
- it's the front page story.
I'd happily pay £2 to park there if they take the height restriction barriers away.......
Some of those places - e.g. Gullane and Yellow Craig have charges already, at least in the "summer".
"SNP group leader Paul McLennan branded the charge a “misguided tourism tax”. He said: “It will only serve to hit hard-pressed visitors and locals in the pocket.”"
And yet the SNP Councillors in Edinburgh are back.... a Tourist Tax.
"Evening News launches battle to stop car park charges planned for beauty spots"
Car parking charges come second only to speed/traffic enforcement cameras on the way to guarantee a front page on the chipwrapper.
Their bleating is entirely pathetic.
"Gloomy outlook for elderly if parking charges imposed"
In other news, "Four Horseman of the Apocalype Behind Plan to Impose Scandalous Parking Charges". Also "Darth Vader in favour of parking charges, pensioners' groups claim".
