Just what does Southwark spend CPZ and PCN money on....?

[first mate]

If you get an answer from Cllr McAsh, post it, so we can see.

You have three councillors, by the time you have read and responded to this post you could have emailed them all, rather than pointing your finger at one.  You could ask to meet them,invite them to your local society etc etc.  

[first mate]

Cllr McAsh is the Cabinet Member in charge of this stuff. One email to him with the response shared on here, job done.

I get that some would prefer responses are kept private and one on one.

We'll go on then rather than just talk about it on this forum.  Up to you if you don't want to try all your councillors.

I cannot see that this includes what parking surplus and within that, Environment Reserve, is spent on?

[Earl Aelfheah]

It's detailed month by month spending so probably not. Why don't you just email your councillor and ask them?

Thanks for posting that Earl. Some of the (monthly!) expenditure is shocking. 

E.g. 

 

GREATER LONDON AUTHORITY £808,078.00 GLA CROSSRAIL BUSINESS RATE SUPPLEMENT

What benefit do we get from spending £800k a month on Crossrail FFS???

 

Also £2.6m on Freedom Passes  - EDIT  - THIS SEEMS TO BE ANNUAL NOT MONTHLY

These are things the Mayor came up with. He should pay them out of his budget, not charge our council for them. 

 

DELETED.

...this explains the cross rail business supplement https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/transport/rail-and-underground/elizabeth-line/paying-crossrail-business-rate-supplement

[CPR Dave]

The freedom passes might be an annual fee compared to a monthly fee for the bins tbf.

We do seem to be paying 800k very month for cross rail though.

So that's Boris Johnson's fault too then ?

 

Even more irritating!!!!
