Residents returning from work in the evening would congest the area as some households are bedsits with 2 cars per household as well as some family households with more than 2 cars, i never had a problem with finding parking during the day. With us being the last in the cpz zone and the charges councils place on 2nd and 3rd cars in a household i do know of some residents who were already in a cpz that were reluctant to pay the fees they charge for the 2nd and 3rd cars and then would use this area to park and hey ho the council would say you have a parking problem here, half of it because they push people without permits in pre existing cpz's to park in roads where they dont exist and because we have a series of walkways it only takes 1 min to be on college road, muswell road and mabel road that were pre existing cpz. I guess I'll give up on the idea. The council invent a problem and then say you have a problem.. If they charged the same amount per car regardless of how many cars you had it probably wouldn't be such an issue for people to try and find alternative parking but when you charge excessively more for the 2nd and 3rd cars it hardly seems fair and almost forces people to find parking elsewhere, I'll hang up my boots as the battle i guess will be lost.. Long live fleecing the motorist from all sides. Thanks to all those who gave an input to this subject, hopefully at some point they'll change it to allow us to park on the verges,i guess they would have to, Bedfordshire fire brigade if the info i found today are 3m wide mirror to mirror.
