If you are a resident without a car, you will not have a parking permit, so will not have an account to buy visitor parking. Also it is not the easiest site to navigate and may present an accessibility challenge to some. Some pay by phone on EDG would be useful.

That?s not true

?Visitor's parking permits

You can buy visitor's parking permits if you live within a controlled parking zone (whether you own a car or not).?

I?m not sure how useful this is, but here?s the Council?s report on Phase 3 of the Our Healthy Streets consultation. Doubtless we will all read it from our own perspectives and draw different conclusions.

Yes Snowy, you can buy them, but most people without a car will have not set up an account, so will have to set up an account in order to purchase visitors permits.


The point I was trying to make, obviously not as well as I hoped, is that setting up is not so straightforward on the site, for instance it took over a month to set up mine as the site had issues recognising my address and it also required extra identifying documentation, in the end Councillor McAsh very kindly intervened.


Some people who do not have a car may have accessibility issues when it comes to navigating a 'clunky' site, therefore it might be a nice idea for a few pay-phone visitor parking sites on EDG.


I'm not sure this is an unreasonable request.

It isn't an unreasonable request at all - would definitely make it again. The spaces could be either pay by phone or residents if spaces are a concern. Just bear in mind that pay by phone generally limited to a shorter time than the hours of operation of the permits so may not be the workaround for longer term visits.

    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
    • You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence and level of delusion. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond Reality check - pound crashed against the dollar and other major currencies following Brexit vote - 1.70 to 1.20, and has never recovered Truss's mini budget sent it to almost an all time low 1.08, from around 1.20 the week before Reeves budget it lost a cent, and fared worse since Trump won the election.
