Charge electric cars for parking

Sir, - The proposed increase in charges for parking a vehicle in Dundee are scandalous, as are the new charges for leisure facilities.

I sincerely hope that the powers that be will start charging electric powered vehicles for parking.

After all, they cause wear and tear on the roads and do cause a certain amount of pollution from tyre wear.

I also presume that given the budget cuts and council tax increases that our local and national politicians will not be getting a salary increase – at least I hope not. Ken Dickson. Collace Crescent, Dundee.
