THIS IS THE NEWS The working-class will have to pay more than £1,000 a year to use public car parks in St Peter Port, Guernsey, while States Members and Department get free parking. The introduction of fees for long-term parking was part of a cunning and crude traffic strategy agreed by the corrupt and badly run States. It involves over-size, useless buses being made free for an 18-month trial at times that dont suit 90% of the population of Guernsey (theyll also be late all of the time) and the introduction of duty based on the width and CO2 emissions of vehicles to generate more waste-monies. Its not yet clear when the 60p an hour parking charges will be brought in as a number of laws need to be rewritten but therell likely to be rushed and ill-thought-out. However, the introduction of the whole strategy is expected to cost £835,000 with its ongoing costs met by hard workers and the vehicle registration fee, while states employees pay sweet-fa. Currently public car parks across the island are free, although the time spent in a space is limited and the time of arrival must be displayed. The islands public bus service will be free for 18 months to encourage increased use and the public will be unsurprisingly massively disappointed, Under the plans short stay spaces, in which motorists are allowed to stay for up to two and a half hours, will be free so workers will generally use these spaces and currently re-park their vehicles. This will generate an increased revenue for Amazon. God bless Amazon. Incompetent Deputy Barry Brehaut, who was one of those sneaky bastards behind the proposals, said: Ha, suckers, I aint paying shit for my space - read it and weep, arseholes!. The reality is that we have a problem on the island, the problem is to do with the government and its incapability to do anything right. We strongly suspect six-year-olds from La Mare could do a darn sight better but wed rather not let this be known. The way you deal with that is to impose taxes on to the people who will be hit the most. Driving up wages which will likely mean some more shops in town will close. Oh, and did I mention that well have free parking at all States departments - so once again, screw you! People wont wake up to the fact that their government is inept and is constantly wasting money in all the wrong areas but at least the governor has some plush wheels to park in his FREE FRICKEN SPACE, he added. The plans are due to be reviewed in 2017, when theyll be worsened and will further hit low earners. The strategy includes: More ridiculous ideas More investment in the wrong areas A catalogue of errors Bus depot to be built - £20m Review of speed limits - island maximum currently 35mph, which will remain unchanged Increased free parking for States employees
