The problems caused by one council taking a decision which then causes difficulties for another, rears its head again over the issue of car parking charges at some of the city’s parks.
While it has produced some revenue for the city council, the inevitable displacement of cars, by motorists unwilling to pay, on to roads around the parks has led to complaints by residents.
One possible solution, the introduction of controlled parking zones, is a matter for the county council, which says it has no money for such schemes.
Sadly this looks like another example where a little more joined-up thinking might have been advisable before the parking charges were introduced.
