Well I, for one, am going to be writing to my MP (for all the good that will do). I often used that free half hour when quickly collecting something.

Why pick on Upminster and Hornchurch where the high street is already struggling. Unbelievably shortsighted!! I feel for local businesses.

Totally stupid and money grabbing, don’t we pay enough taxes, taxed on wages, more tax on most things we buy. Now we can’t pop to local shops unless on our door step. Plus not only will shopkeepers lose out on revenue they will not be compensated by getting a reduction in business rates. Stupid short sighted council.

Having family and friends in Upminster meeting up for lunch or visiting on a Sunday in Upminster is very unlikely now. We will arrange to meet somewhere free. So short sighted by those councillors who vote for this.

Just another reason why I’m looking to move away what with that the pollution from the new roads planned at junction 29 and the emissions charges £12.50 a day next year I’ve just given up

Are the councillors blind or stupid- or, even worse, both?
