Got confirmation at the Ackroyd Centre meeting from councillor present that the CPZ element in the consultation is purely for the purpose of raising revenue. If the CPZ is not agreed then none of the improvements will happen, under this scheme anyway. Not a great surprise there.

What was shocking though was the revelation that Project Centre, who are running the (badly designed with leading questions and addressing the wrong areas) consultation, are the consultancy arm of Marston Holdings. Marston Holdings is the company outsourced to do the parking enforcement. They also just so happen to have subsidiaries which deal with debt management, air quality testing and pre-paid meter installation. Massive conflict of interest and one wonders if they get paid on 'results' of the survey too?
