Welcome to the new supporters!

Since the last mail-out there has been a massive increase in the number of supporters joining the campaign, if you are one of them <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>, we send our thanks and welcome from all of the committee and other supporters. We can only win this battle with your full support, numbers are increasing on an hourly basis, you are now part of that. If you have any questions or can offer anything to the campaign do let us know by contacting us using the form here.

Watch the latest "Call to Arms" video.

Our man in the studio has been busy again, this is the latest video in his collection! Have a watch of the short "Call to Arms" video gearing up for the big day on the 1st July! WATCH IT HERE. If you are a new supporter and have yet to see any of the past demonstration video reports (for new supporters we produce a video after every demo) or other campaign videos, you can visit this page where you can watch all the videos from the campaign so far and get an idea of how past demos went and get up to speed. The same goes for photos, you can see all past demo photos here.

Make sure you get your voice heard!

The "Objection Wednesday" demo is fast approaching, the deadline for objections against the scheme is also fast approaching. We know a lot of you have already objected already, for those that have yet to object it is very easy, you can either print off an objection form (PDF) and bring it along on the 1st July and/or you can use a quick and easy on-line objection form. The demonstration on Wednesday will be a chance for you to object right under Westminster’s greedy noses, as you know the demo is about handing in objections to the scheme directly outside Westminster City Hall, whatever you do, make sure you are there on the day to hand in your objections. (The on-line facility is purely there for those that absolutely cannot make it!) preferably however, we ask you to do both BE AT THE DEMO ON WEDNESDAY TO OBJECT and object on-line, the more work we create for Westminster the better. This is one of the few occasions when anybody truly against this tax can have their say, and to have that opinion officially noted. GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU KNOW TO OBJECT TOO.

What do Westminster think?

Have a listen to this interview by "Jo" – "Motorbike Protest". Westminster’s parking department Kieran "One Size" Fitsall and our very own Chairman Warren feature. A few notes however… (The details about the demo in the interview are not for the 1st July, this interview was taken for a previous demo on 9th June, so ignore those bits, full details of the 1st July demo are above), also when the reporter says that the scheme has become permanent that is not the case, the scheme is still running as an experiment, Westminster have yet to make it permanent. Westminster seem to think that opposition is getting smaller, are they in fairy land?, can they not open their eyes?. Let us show them on the 1st of July that this is not the case, come out on the street, be there with the rest of us, we would like to extend that invitation to any Westminster Councillors reading this email (and yes, we know you have subscribed to it) make sure that you are tucked up inside Westminster City Hall on the 1st July, it will be spectacular!

Thanks to Doble Motorcycles and MCE Insurance!

Thank you to Doble Motorcycles and MCE Insurance for avidly spreading the word via their customer base. May we take this chance to also say, that if you are planning to buy anything from any motorcycle/scooter dealer, shop, garage etc… before you buy you ask if they support the "No To the Bike Parking Tax" Campaign, if they say "No", then walk straight back out the door and go to the next nearest that supports the campaign. The more customers that do this the more they will realise that they must get on board and fight this all the way, ultimately what Westminster are doing is imposing a scheme which is a deterrent, they have even said that is what the scheme is now designed to do, "to deter motorcyclists", if this scheme spreads you can be sure that it will affect their business, less motorcyclists on the road, less business for them, and along with that, Westminster will soon increase the tax no doubt, this really is a scheme that must be fought all the way.

Hi-Viz Campaign Vests.
