I am surprised at the apparent lack of complaints at the punitive increase in parking charges in Brighton and Hove.

Increasing the half-hour charge from 10 pence to 50 pence and removing the one-hour charge appears to be designed to increase revenue by an unjustifiable percentage.

So far as I am aware, there was no prior notification of the increases.

I would not expect any reasoned response but would be interested in hearing from the local authority the justification for the five-times increase in the half-hourly charge.
