"The car, which is understood to belong to Hounslow Labour Councillor and former Deputy Mayor, Hina Mir, was parked in a disabled parking bay on Tuesday while a full council meeting was taking place."
"The Labour Group is currently investigating the matter."
"Labour councillors are taking residents for fools. It's clear that a sense of entitlement runs rife through the Hounslow Labour Party, and this latest breaking of the rules will rightly be seen as them sticking two fingers up at residents who have faced the brunt of their heavy handed approach to enforcement for everyone other than themselves. This is yet further confirmation that under this current Labour council, it's one rule for them and another for the rest of us."
A BMW believed to belong to Hounslow Labour Councillor and former Deputy Mayor Hina Mir was parked in a disabled bay at Hounslow Council offices while a full council meeting took place. Ms Mir also serves as Chair of the Housing and Environment Scrutiny Panel and works as a solicitor. Hounslow Labour stated the Labour Group is investigating. The council owns and manages the car park at Hounslow House civic centre, which is reserved for staff and politicians rather than the general public. Disabled bays are marked in yellow and standard bays in white. A member of the public parking in a disabled bay without a blue badge would face a £160 fixed penalty notice. Conservative councillors criticised the incident as evidence of a double standard and entitlement, and opposition councillors referenced other parking incidents involving councillors.
