Following a scare campaign by Labour, who are desperately trying to get a footing back in the town after being wiped out at the last local elections in 2008, many residents were fearful that the Council might be planning to introduce parking charges.
This is simply not true. Local Conservative Councillors are vehemently opposed to parking charges in Northwich. Cllrs Helen Weltman and Kate Birtwistle emphasised their own opposition by saying 'over our cold dead bodies'.
Graham commented 'The Council has made it clear that there are no plans for parking charges. It will remain free to park in Northwich.'
'Quite, frankly I think this shameless scaremongering is utterly disgraceful. The Labour Party is going around Northwich trying to deceive voters and scare them into voting for them this May. First they took the people of Northwich for granted, now they are trying to take us for fools.'
'Unfortunately for Labour, the people of Northwich are far too smart to fall for their spin again.'
