Parking permits going up?
Have a feeling there will be quite a response to Bath & North East Somerset Council's invitation to residents to comment on proposals aimed at improving road safety, supporting sustainable travel, and ensuring the financial sustainability of its parking services. You see, one proposal is to increase the baseline cost of an on-street parking permit, which has not changed for over a decade, despite the rising costs of maintenance and enforcement of residents' parking zones (RPZs).
