RESIDENT PARKING - MONEY MAKING!
The charging of UK residents to park outside their own homes cannot be justified and must be scrapped.
Why is this important?
The recent introduction of charging residents in the London Borough of Barnet to park outside their own homes is a part of a part of a national money-making scheme
There can be no justification whatsoever to charging residents to park outside their own homes. I have lived in my property for over 40 years and parked free until a few months ago.
'Resident Parking Only' is a good idea, but charging the residents for it, is nothing more than revenue raising and only increases the financial hardship and stress that the UK population are already suffering.
In my particular case, there isn't enough parking space available in the first place due to an ill-conceived width restriction sited in the worst possible position.
I have raised my complaints with Barnet Council, the local MP and the Mayor of London without success.
I cannot imagine how many residents up and down the country that must be in similar situations.
Barnet Council say that charging residents is an administration fee, for what?
