Labour's Parking fiasco







Sandwell Councils cash cow is seriously poorly, some say parking in the borough needs a urgent second opinion, With revenue money is drying up, shops closing the once great midland towns that make up the borough of Sandwell have a problem, its Labour's obsession with the Car.

Meanwhile in towns across the borough car parks lay empty, as shoppers go out of town for goods and Labour continue to stick their head in the sand. 

 This Is Wednesbury, Taken on the Special Market Day


No problems getting a parking spot 


( meters standing guard over nothing ) 

Taken By Wednesbury housing office

Now we move to Smethwick 

 the lone meter waiting forlornly for a customer

 Next we move to Great Bridge
 This Car park by the private market was closed years ago

 The Car park on the council Market sadly lacking traders and customers  parking





Sandwell Tory said
As Sandwell is a transparent authority !, I wonder if they will release the cost of having these machines dotted over the borough doing nothing ?

Yet even today as I write this,  homes (little square ones) are being built with little or no parking facility
for its residents,  will this be tomorrows ASB trying to get a parking space?

And a fortune is spent on pedestrianisation for an ageing population many of whom cant walk  to see it




How sad, but according to Labour its someone else fault

just in case you think otherwise these photo's were all taken Mon-Sat at approx 1.00pm

  2. I have monitored your SANDWELL site for months and from your links to your local online news publications and I like this post.

    It shows perfectly a political administration were the business skill set borders on the none existent. Which I imagine is further compounded with very limited business knowledge from their local government operatives.


    I wish your government well in its ideals to reactivate your economy, but its plain your lower level political leaders are just not good enough to do it..
    back home we always local business leaders in local town politics.

    Can I use your pictures of your high street, I cannot believe your town council would block off the main highway as you never replied to my e-mail
