It sounds like your daughter's house should be surrounded by a private car park for their exclusive use. Will they be paying for this luxury? Perhaps the answer is to have local shared pay-as-you-use car parking spaces - hang on, they exist and are called public car parks. We need to face up to reality - that there are two key problems facing us that need to be addressed. 1. People preferring to own/use cars instead of public transport irrespective of the impact on others. 2. Too many cars per household. The only viable solution is to price out car ownership for people without private parking spaces through taxation as in countries such as Singapore. |

I understand that in London (parts of..?) there are By-laws against parking on a footpath but not checked it out. |

Some drivers think it a right
Hi alll,
What you say is right but can understand parking on path, but a lot of people now think it is a right. Walking on path from shop to home car stopped let me pass so he could Park on path. I could not pass on the path afterccar parked. And we wonder why car drivers are scene as the bad people. Respect from both sides and it can work. I can dream |

There's plenty of people who'd love to have a drive. Then there's those that won't use the one they've paid for. Prefer to block the street up instead.

How many cars are an acceptable number for a household? Does it matter how many cars there are at a household as long as they can store them all on their own property as well as visitors cars? Also you need to consider the practical reasons for using ones own car and not public transport. I use to use public transport for getting to and from work. 20 minutes by car, an hour using public transport. I also had to fit in with the times of public transport which may not have been convenient. Car ownership has increased but parking at new houses has decreased. So many new builds have parking for only 2 cars at best and so when visitors come parking becomes an issue. Where my sister lives, she has parking for 1, where do her visitors park? Another new build estate with parking problems macafee2 |

A neighbour near me has a white line across her driveway, but another neighbour who was parked on it, complained that he would then have to park elsewhere and then bring his children to their house - obviously that original neighbour's "fault". |

We've just had a newsletter from our local "Councillors", and two paragraphs cited their concerns over "commuter parking" in the area, and asking for any "concerns".
I sent a message and got this reply........ Quote:
He finished with "I trust that this allays your concerns and hopefully you will support us on 2nd May." What do you think? |

When the young female PCSO arrived she told me...and I quote " if there's nobody trying to get past a pavement parked car...it's not an obstruction" ... REALLY ? I was then treated to the admission that she had become a PCSO for "the buzz" and nothing else. Still awaiting a reply from the Wiltshire PCC ...maybe one day ?
