Watchdog is a BBC consumer affairs programme broadcast UK nationwide. A campaign group at http://www.notobikeparkingtax.com have been fighting the petty overpaid officers and tin pot politicians at Westminster City Council to stop all motorists from continually being seen by councils as just cash cows. Of the different groups of motorists, motorcyclists and scooter riders are the most ignored. Because of this they will fight like hell to protect their freedoms. Apart from the official website above, a detailed history of the bikers fight can be seen at http://nutsville.com

  • Write to the council asking for lawful proof of their claim that they can park on double yellows and if they are able to provide such proof ask them if there is any lawful reason why any other person couldn't use exactly the same reason.

    The truth is probably actually that there is no real lawful reason that they can extort money for people parking on public roads at all in the first place. It's just that the majority of the public believe these claims and pay up without questioning them.

  • Westminster City Council is already loosing £430.000.00 a year to implement the bike parking tax.

    With this happening now, the cctv cars are going to loose money as well. Westminster council has opened a can of worms by charging bikes to park and it should have scrapped the tax ages ago.

    This council must have tons of money to waste and doesn't mind upsetting Londoners.

    Everything the bikers are doing is legal.

    Well done to all involved, you are heroes !

    Brilliant film, thank you !

see all
