Six Hats:
Blue:
Generate ideas to encourage drives/ people to pay their parking fines
Explore ideas for the council to reduce parking fines debtors
Red:
Process might let citizen get frustrated
Some parking areas might be too expensive for citizen to afford
The policies might be not that strict to citizens
Parking inspectors show their arrogance to people sometimes
It might be easy to get nasty 'surprise' from someone is rude and do not like follow the legislation
It might be too hard for citizen to pay fines since the process systems are not that good
Maybe there are not enough car spaces
Maybe there are not enough off-street parking
They might think who would care the payment or not, it's sort of like none of anyone's business
Citizens might think its waste of money if just park at that period time and pay that high amount of money
It might be bad for business if they think the money is going to the business but not to the tax department or whatever
People would think don't pay fine are "criminals"
