'Ending' "the war on the motorist"

writes On Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:01:01 -0500, wrote: Evidence that the fines ever went to local government coffers? All the "evidence" anyone should need is the bleating of local authorities ever since they were denied the income stream from fines. They never have had such an income stream. Money from speeding fines has always gone to central government. All that local authorities (or, strictly, groups of local authorities) got was the cost of processing the fines, for which they had to apply to the DfT. What local authorities are currently bleating about is the change introduced in 2007, which means that they now can't even claim the cost of processing fines. Instead they were given a Road Safety Grant, to spend as they wished on a range of road safety measures, and which has just been halved in value. -- Paul Terry |
