I offer some advice to West Sussex County Council which is planning to increase its council tax by 9.7 per cent (The Argus, January 30).

Perhaps it could take a leaf out of Brighton and Hove's book and instal a bevy of benevolent parking attendants and match the reported profits in Brighton and Hove in the past six months of £2 million in parking fines. Always glad to hear we have such great enterprising financial geniuses.
