ONE of your readers was quick to praise the wonderful Coun Merrett for exposing the so-called money-losing meters on Park Grove, put in by Coun Reid (January 5).
I have to point out Coun Merrett and cronies were responsible for the rising bollards on Victoria Bar.
At about £30,000, they are a complete and utter waste of our money as they serve no purpose whatso-ever. So who is worse?
If Ann Reid says this money will help the city council with its budget, where is this money going to, and why is our council tax due to rise if all these meters are supplying more money to the budget?
