Yes well said Rockets, of course this is just an earner for the council despite what they claim. I can't believe they're using some scheme from Philadelphia to build a case for their CPZ proposal. The pictures in their leaflet of clusters of chairs in the middle of the road supposedly called "parklets" were hilarious. If you intoduce CPZs there will be more space for the first few months but then after a few months you're back to square one. Only difference is you're now paying to park on a bit of the road you're already paying for with your road tax. And it's forever! So obviously there are costs to install the posts, signage and white line at the start, but once you've paid for them it's a money machine. You have thousands of residents paying ?125 a year, a massive increase in parking tickets, pay by phone parking and visitor permits. I still don't see why residents should have to pay at all, let the parking tickets and visitors permits fund the running costs. It might take longer to make up the start up cost but if this is actually for our benefit so what? Anyway, forums are one thing but we must all make sure that we fill out the surveys and return them.
