Congratulations to Brighton and Hove City Council for coming top.
Reports in the Press say Brighton and Hove issued 168,172 parking tickets last year and was only beaten in number by Birmingham, with 174, 852.
But with less than a quarter of the population of Britain's second city, Brighton actually issued an incredible four times as many tickets than any other borough in the UK, per head of population.
Our council has turned Brighton and Hove into a parking police state, with uniformed wardens lurking on every corner and it has changed ticketing from a traffic control measure into a rampant form of taxation.
Like all bad taxes, it has had serious consequences - pushing businesses, shoppers and tourists out of the city and thoroughly irritating a large proportion of the residents.
Isn't it time the council stopped wasting resources on persecuting its residents and visitors and concentrated on more useful enterprises, such as tackling low pay and rising unemployment by attracting businesses and enterprise?
It would be nice for Brighton to be famous for something more worthy than being the UK's parking ticket capital.
