Bikers will not take it, the tax will go, I am sure of it.

What makes this Tax even worse is that WCC created the ‘demand’ for on street parking by giving us Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) when we parked in the ‘traditional’ off street places like alleys etc, forcing us to park on the street & then charging us for that too!!
Let’s not forget that Alistair Gilchrist has openly admitted that the only reason WCC brought in this Tax is because “we didn’t have the technology to charge before….but now we have”

When bikers say NO, they say NO and they firmly mean it. Let the battle commence against Westminster Council!

I think the UK Government must reply to the EU Commission by no later than 20th January 2010 on behalf of Westminster… 6 days to go… can’t wait to see the Government’s reply. Please post it as soon as it is available.

I can’t believe bureaucrats have been ignoring the public like this. This is “du jamais vu”. Carry on fighting guys, the whole French motorcyclist community is backing you up.

As you say, the fight is far from over! Westminster Council will seriously regret their decision.

What a weak article the Evening Standard have written. Thanks for your good post above that exposes the truth behind this crazy tax.

Click on the article’s picture above and read the numerous negative comments made against this ridiculous motorcycle parking tax. There is not a single comment in favour of the tax. Nobody wants it, except Danny Chalkley and Alastair Gilchrist, because of their bloody ego!

Excellent post, when it’s all laid out like that it shows just how completely mad this tax is.

You think this is bad enough, but there’s something even more coming soon that will put the icing on the cake for bikers.
