SNP confusion over parking charges

At today's meeting of the full Council the SNP Group supported a motion from the Liberal Democrats that called for officers to "investigate the introduction of charged parking within Greenock Town Centre". Yet only yesterday in the Greenock Telegraph SNP Councillor Chris Osborne described the idea of charging for car parking in Greenock as "ridiculous".

Interestingly Councillor Osborne was absent from today's Council meeting. I am led to believe that he was unwell. His recovery might not be helped by the fact that his colleagues voted in favour of investigating something that he considers to be ridiculous.

Mind you I am not sure that it is as ridiculous as last week's proposal from the SNP to spend £22m of Council taxpayers money on a multi-storey car park in Cathcart Street.

Who came up with that bright idea Chris?
