In follow-up to yesterday's 'What’s happened to Richard Priest’s pre-election promise on parking?' article, here's the elongated response OnTheWight received from him today
Before the election Richard Priest promised to "Promote high streets not penalise motorists". Now, a year on, he and Jon Gibley are overseeing the opposite.
The Isle of Wight councillor who introduced the removal of many free car parks and increased parking charges has himself been freely parking on double yellow lines. We've got the photos. I asked him at a public meeting - he didn't deny it.
