Good post.

?An extra tenner to add on for workmen [and are they going to be happy to pay to come and give you a quote?]?


They won?t have to pay to come and give a quote as it?s up to the resident to purchase a temporary permit on their behalf.


I had someone visit to do some work in my house yesterday and I asked how a CPZ would affect him. He said that his clients buy the permits entitling him to park and that parking, from his point of view, is a lot easier within a CPZ. Just saying.

apologies, my post should have read.." are you going to be happy to pay for someone to come and give a quote?", highlighting that even short visits from people will end up costing us money.


My concern is that the residents will be paying out for all sorts of extras that are currently free,

I would be happy for people to be able to come and quote. Currently they can?t park anywhere nearby to be able to do so!

    • Lots of good points there mal but wasn’t it the same electorate who are now so angry that kept voting them back in?   for me 2015 was the pivotal moment. Pre Corbyn, but after 5 years of austerity, Cameron should never have been allowed back in 
    • If you’re looking for a curly hair specialist I can highly recommend Kinson near Clock House station (or ten mins walk from Kent House). 
    • The unnecessary austerity under the coalition, hammering public services, and then subsequent Tory governments not investing when interest rates were rock bottom screwed the country.  These were before COVID and Ukraine which the Tories used as an excuse.  There is no good reason to vote Reform; they have a platform of returning Britain to something it never was. The left of Labour parties, IE Greens and LDs are the only sensible alternative.   This is not letting Labour off the hook; worryingly they already seem to be veering to the right.
