Thursday 17th September 2009 Vale of White Horse Conservatives Passing the buck Abingdon Town Council (every member Lib Dem) have written to the Leader of Oxfordshire County Council asking when free parking in Abingdon Town Centre will start. This was indeed one of the aspirations in the Conservatives' Vision for Abingdon documents circulated during the County Council campaign. Conservatives at the Vale have long argued for reductions and eventually free parking in Abingdon as well as Faringdon and Wantage. Sadly Abingdon Town Council has acted out of the most blatant political motives. They know that Oxfordshire County Council has direct responsibility only for on-street parking. The Vale of White Horse District Council is responsible for all of the car parks. I stand by the Conservative's pledge to campaign for free car parking, it would help all of our market towns and be a benefit to local residents. What would be more constructive would be for all council's Lib Dem & Tory to agree that free parking would be a goodthing, and to work together to achieve it. I am sad to say that the Lib Dems sudden interest in this subject may be related to the fact that a by-election has just been called in the town. |
