A multitude of bikers swarmed Parliament Square at 5:30pm followed by a procession to Northumberland Avenue via Whitehall to demonstrate against the introduction of parking levies by Westminster City Council. London, United Kingdom, 09/03/2010. Members of the ‘No to the Bike Parking Tax’ group were out in force on motorcycles and scooters in order to carry on petitioning for their goal of the withdrawal of all parking taxes, and for a full refund of fees paid to date by bikers who had no other option but to pay up. The tax is only an experiment and the group wants to enforce the fact that people can pass on their objections to a review body which would be able to overturn the introduction of the tax. The demonstration was organised to clash with the Westminster City Council Civic Dinner being held at the Northumberland Hotel. The bikers parked up and demonstrated opposite the hotel. A few were angry about being penned in such a small area and suggested that they were within their right to protest halfway across the street as the official map did not clearly identify the areas where protesters could be.
