So....we don't own a car, never have done. But we have a cleaner who visits, by car, once a week. She comes exactly during the times that the controlled parking zone will apply to. (she comes 9:30 - 12:30 -- restrictions seem to be from 11 - 1). Buying a pass once per week gets awfully expensive. As she doesn't live here, we can't buy her an annual pass, + she would presumably need that somewhere else.


And while the is quite a pain for us, I can't imagine what it will mean for people who have carers who come, say, to give them lunch, for example. Is it possible to get any exemptions? What do people suggest?

Visitors permits will set you back ?2.10/week if you buy 10 at a time. Which isn?t much on top of the cost of a cleaner.


Carers and other essential visitors normally have permits provided by their company, giving them access to any cpz.

thanks for advice -- I don't want to find a new cleaner, and its not fair to her to let her go in order to find someone more local, as she's been working for us for some time. Yes, we could do our own cleaning, but long ago decided that having a cleaner is one of the secrets to a happy marriage and with busy lives it helps a lot. We have been known to forgo certain things in order to budget for said cleaner...as I said, we don't own a car, and are not profligate in our spending.


So adding a few quid on a week doesn't sound like a lot, but we do run a tight budget....The irony is that the weekly cost of parking adds up to almost as much as an annual amount for a resident's car, but we can't get one of those.


I still think it's madness. On our stretch of the road, there is no pressure on parking spaces at all during the day, it's too far from the station to attract people wanting to use it for commuting.

    • Is there any way of soundproofing a single glazed sash window? Would  polythene sheeting work? If I replaced the window, I would have triple glazing, but it's a small room used as an office  which I'm not in all that often, so  I really don't want to go to that expense.
    • You must have been very unlucky, they are usually very helpful. Didn't your GP advise you on what strength to get? Any issues with delivery from online orders pale into insignificance when compared with the advantages of not having to trek from shop to shop comparing availability and prices of what you want, and then having to find someone in each place who can tell you about it, and then hoping that they have given you the correct information! And then having to lug it all home, if it is heavy stuff. Assuming you were lucky enough to find what you wanted in the first place. Been there, done that for decades,  don't want to do it any more thanks  😀

    • Might it be more respectful to refrain from asking this on a local forum which his family are on as if it's merely akin to casually asking if anyone has heard what's happening with the empty shop space next to Oliver Bonas or if anyone knows which dentists are taking on new patients? Christ. Google it if you're that interested. They are a real family and this isn't a Reddit discussion on a true crime documentary. Extraordinary
