So the city council says that lone working at night at the park-and-ride car parks will provide more staff at busier periods yet, at the same time, it admits that staff numbers have been reduced through 'natural wastage'.

Well, wastage certainly comes naturally to the city council and considering that Liberal Democrat councillor Jean Fooks is in charge of the car parks, this contradiction does not surprise me.

My, my, recycling has gone mad!

I understand that you recycle old for new, but how can you take three retired park-and-ride security staff, recycle their rota and come up with more staff than you started with?

They are running the park-and-rides on the cheap, making profits from rises in parking fees and putting people's safety at risk. Well done!
