THIS Liberal Democrat council is a disgrace. Their relentless campaign to persecute motorists knows no bounds and they have now even targeted hospital staff (March 23).

The excuse that only a few permits are affected makes this penny-pinching decision even more questionable.

What will they do next?

Will emergency service vehicles be forced to pay to park while attending emergencies in the city?

Hopefully, after these people have enjoyed their moment of glory and disappeared back into the political wilderness, these injustices can be rectified.
