Well our local, save the earth Council has decided to up my residents parking permit from £25 a year to £150 for the CSW. The logic being the pollution it makes.

Now I only really use it to drop my four kids and a mates 2 kids to school in the mornings before i go to work on me motorbike.

Including me, thats 7 and often my mums there to, who i drop of up the shops (shes 80 and uses a plastic footstool to heave herself into the front seat :) )

Now i'm sure the landy dont make 7 times more pollution than mister yuppy in his ford focus or does it ?

I've got to renew it tomorrow and its gonna be real hard not to let the woman behind the window at parking services get a gobfull.

Anyone else been thru this to ? :mad:
 
Surly if it’s parked then its not polluting so they should charge you less to encourage you to park it?!?!

Why don't you write to the council and tell them that you essentially car pool for loads of kids, then give them some boring statistics about fuel and 7 focuses and all that jazz and see what they say.

Then send the letter to the papers and see if you can get a story in - there are always articles like that in the paper with some poor guy standing with his apparently offensive car and the 6 kids that need lifts to school and his frail mum. Papers love it and it gets the councils hot and bothered.
 
I int gerrin em mixed up, but to tell yer the truth i int too fussy really - gimme a dohrty scummy slapper any day! I int a miner, i'm in me 30s yer know!
 
Think yourself lucky you don't live in Edinburgh, City council have decided to up the parking permit to £320 a year for highest polluting vehicles from £160 at the moment for everybody and drop lowest one to £100.

It has been pointed out by several owners of these vehicles that they don't pollute when they are parked but that went above their stupid heads.

Glad I live in the countryside.
