I've been wanting to rant about this for ages. As someone who has lived most of my life in Stratford, I've watched the greed of Stratford Council Grow. We now have taxes rising far above inflation, and what do the council reward our hard earned cash with? That's right, they buy us parking meters!

I remember a time when you could park for free everywhere, then gradually 'maximum parking time' signs started appearing everywhere, making people who work in Stratford have to park further and further out of town. Now you can't park anywhere all day for free, and you have to pay extortionate sums if you do decide to park in town.

Meanwhile, Stratford council have given themselves their own free car park! Frankly I think this is a disgrace!
