Cutting Costs

From today parking charges in Jersey have risen.

Does the States assembly and ministers in particular have it in them to start making cuts in departments that are not needed. Are they looking at management structures and waste.

As has been said before on these pages most workers in the private sector have to pay for their parking which cost has just been put up by TTS. No doubt sitting round a table was a minister, assistant minister and civil servants finding the easy way to raise costs. Well surely they all public employees should pay parking costs in the same way the general public pay either in States parking or in privately rented spaces.

Those that park at South Hill, at Schools and use parking facilities reserved for them through the Island and this at the same rate as the private sector pays for parking.
