Are parking charges only to make money.

On one of the largest industrial and trading estates of UK the council is proposing parking charges - Marsh Barton in Exeter.
Most of the workers in the area see this as just another method of taxings them for getting to work.
If people really follow the incentive and use public transport - thus not buying cars, there will be more problems for the few remaining car factories of UK - which will lead to other economics problems.
Few people doubt that government is just in a mess on parking subjects. Councils are taxing in stupid ways, purely to gain more tax revenue. UK government then wonders why peoply complain because fewer cars are being sold.
Ahh -- the wonders of logic !

Many car journeys are for getting to work, but for many low-paid jobs a car is necessary due to shift work and the location.
To be forced to pay parking fees to leave a car on the side roads of an industrial estate so that one can go to work seems counter-productive. Many low-paid jobs will become not worth doing financially.
