Free parking is never actually free: somebody's paying for it.

People get grumpy about councils starting to charge for folk to use their car parks, but it's high time we changed those expectations.

And it opens up conversations about the best use of the public realm: is it *really* car storage?
“None of this is stuff we want to do or choose to do, but as a council we are faced with chronic underfunding. If it comes to charging for car parks or keeping our pools open or our libraries open, they’re the tough decisions we’re elected to make."

The sooner the ANPR cameras are in place the better. Lots of entitled parents breaking the rules and deserving hefty fines and points

Only cyclists get their SUVs dirty.
