Dear Editor,
Parking meters, amendments to the contract and the bylaws are all fruits of a poisonous tree: the parking meter contract, and therefore everything that emanates from it is tainted.
Dear Editor,
I refer to two letters pertaining to the parking meter issue; one by Raquel Thomas-Caesar (‘The parking meter project was foisted on the citizenry’ SN, January 24) and the response by Mark Benschop (Team Benschop) (‘Other councillors apart from Duncan spoke out on parking meter contract’ SN, January 26).
