Does it still cost councils money when you take a ticket to the tribunals? Only a few years ago when I appealed the council had to send me a massive bundle of photocopied A4 Papers through the post and I presume they had to send them to the assessor as well, it was obvious there were man hours involved in doing it. Even if you didn't win the adjudication you had a bit of satisfaction that you cost them money, money which they then couldn't spend on persecuting other motorists for similar trivial misdemeanours (and jollies).

However just lately it seems its all done at a push of a button, they are so efficient at getting things done its now nothing to them, if they run a business they way they run the parking scams they would be up there with Bill Gates. So by 'sticking it to the man' you don't really accomplish anything anymore, as far as I can see the only thing you do is make yourself stand out as a target - there was a story the other day in the paper where some old duffer is going to lose his house because of £40K legal fees all to do with a parking ticket.

I would so dearly love to bring these communist councils down but nowadays I personally just stay well away from town centres and buy everything on-line, sometimes its unavoidable due to work but at least we are taking money out of the local economy instead of giving it to them.

What got me thinking about this is how efficient the councils are at extracting money out of people, they make it look easy but in just about every other department they are in disarray. They could relieve someone of the best part of £100 withing hours but if a little kid is in mortal danger social services will takes months to even think about doing something, by which time its usually too late. So by being efficient in one department they have shown that its possible or even easy to get things done, what does that tell you about the councils morals.

I was told years ago that each PCN issued by TfL cost them £11.50 to process...

I wish I could spend £11.50 spewing out documents that give me a return of £65 / £130 in 99% of cases...
