Tory parliamentary hopeful Mike Weatherley (The Argus, February 27) claims to be a victim of "stealth tax" parking fines when the truth is simpler.
Mr Weatherley parked illegally, committed multiple parking offences and was issued with appropriate penalty notices. What exactly is wrong with that?
Isn't the point of parking enforcement to take action against people who park on yellow lines illegally?
Rather than trying to make a virtue out of breaking the law, someone with Mr Weatherley's aspirations should set a good example.
Responsible citizens park legally and accept genuine fines without trying to make political capital from them.
-Councillor Simon Battle, Goldsmid Ward Councillor and Deputy Chairman Environment Committee Brighton and Hove City Council
