Posted by | Jul 9, 2004 | |

Leading business-to-business express delivery giant, TNT, is optimistic that a double summit with two London borough councils will spell an end to the long-running parking fines dispute in the capital. Faced with annual parking fines of up to GBP300,000 in London, TNT Express Services has been leading a six-month campaign calling on local authorities to review their ‘no parking’ policies and to stop imposing ‘draconian’ fines on delivery companies. Nigel Barton, Director of Operations for TNT Express Services, is hoping that key negotiations scheduled for next week with both Westminster and Camden Councils, will bring a speedy resolution.
