Eric Pickles Meddling Again

The Monday Executive had a document about parking enforcement.  Eric Pickles has been busy inventing ways to make this more difficult (currently out to consultation).  I have criticised Pickles before, for having abandoned any pretence to allowing local decision making.  Just as Michael Gove apparently believed that he was the best person to run every school in the country, and caused chaos as a result, Pickles seems to wreck local government.
