Time to give them a parking ticket

Click here to send a ticket to a Lib Dem or Tory councillor

Lambeth residents sick of receiving unfair parking tickets now have the chance to issue a few tickets of their own. Labour councillors thought that it was high time the Lib Dems and Tories who run the council should get a taste of their own medicine.

So now Lambeth Labour’s website offers residents the opportunity to issue tickets to Lib Dem parking boss Andrew Sawdon and his colleagues. The ticket reads “Fixed penalty notice: Now you know how it feels to receive a ticket when you haven’t parked illegally.” Labour Councillors hope the campaign will make the Lib Dems and Tories finally realise that their parking regime is fundamentally unfair.

Lambeth has seen an avalanche of unfair tickets being issued since the Lib Dems and Tories introduced a parking contract which forces parking attendants to issue 12 tickets for every 8 hour shift. Despite outrage from residents and the local press they have refused to remove the targets which have caused a 71% in the number of appeals against tickets.

To issue your ticket simply come here and follow the instructions.

Councillor Steve Reed, Leader of Lambeth Labour opposition said:

“Parking should be about the fair enforcement of rules, not making money for the council. The Lib Dems and Tories have deliberately designed a system which encourages unfair ticketing and Labour wants this to stop.”

"We have tried everything to get the Lib Dems and Tories to listen. I hope this campaign will finally get them to take notice.”
