"Harringey's Labour Bosses are Scrooges" on Boxing Day parking 16/12/09

"Haringey's Labour Bosses are Scrooges" according to local Conservative campaigners.

Justin Hinchcliffe singled out Haringey parking supremo Cllr. Brian "Ebenezer" Haley for special criticism following news that local shoppers will be hit by parking tickets if they venture out on Boxing Day this year. ''I'm sure the borough's parking wardens would rather spend Boxing Day with their families than harass seasonal shoppers" said Mr Hinchcliffe, "and local shops hit by Labour's credit crunch could certainly do with the extra trade. But Cllr. Haley's revenue-raising parking scams never take a holiday--so much for goodwill to all men!" 

Councillor Alan Dobbie (Cons, Noel Park) added: ''Labour claim that they want to help local businesses and the local economy in these credit crunched times, but their actions suggest otherwise. It's not too late for them to drop their scrooge-like parking charges and provide local businesses across the borough with a huge boost on this year's Boxing Day".
