cctv to assist in the enforcement of penalties for disobeying rules

control

substantially cut the number of winter visitors, but at the same time make those who do make the effort pay through the nose for parking.

I wonder what the cronies in Westminster will be getting paid this year in their annual payrise? 10%+.
