Parking Permit
Discussion
It's that time of year again, yes time to hand over more cash to Wandsworth council for the right to NOT be able to park in the same street that I live in.
Open the envelope and £120!!!!
up from £95 last year which in turn was up from £75 the year before.
Robbing Bar Stewards!!
Suppose there is no way of fighting it as I suppose they have to make up for keeping the Council tax at the same low level.

Somewhere about two weeks ago I viewed a table of current London Boroughs' Parking Permit prices which compared last year's with this year's. Some Boroughs did not increase their charge. To be honest I can accept paying my £120 or 30p ish a day for the privilege. I didnt have a Permit last year with which to compare although from the table IIRC believe Westminster's has stayed put? Might be wrong about that though.

You get to park in your own street and a few surrounding streets. It's not borough wide so stray a few streets away and it's £2 an hour if it is pay and display. Oh! and you get 10 free one day visitor passes.
System was originally brought in to stop people using our roads as a car park in order to use the station about 10 mins walk away but to be honest it was never a problem to park during the day, just at night when everyone is home.
So it's money for nothing in my opinion. Oh! and to pay for the legions of Parking Pateweyo's that descend on to our street at 10.30am on the dot. Some on foot and some on badly driven mopeds.

Count yourself lucky. We don't even have a right to park in Wandsworth, so I have to rent a car parking space. When our flat was built (part of a block of shared ownership) it was on condition the owners would not have a car and would utilise 'green travel'.

Of course, the posher flats non shared ownership flats around the back all have private parking in a gated compound, it's just us plebs at the front who don't. AND all the shared ownership flats are grouped together and are smaller than the posher ones, as opposed to be being spread out like they should according to government guidance.

Not quite sure I understand your logic here - you bought a shared ownership flat knowing that one of the conditions of sale is that you do not own a car, and now you're upset that there's nowhere to park your car?f

The thing which annoys me is that it is only the shared ownership flats that are affected - all the private ones are not.
The most annoying thing is that their is plenty of room in the street at all times, so there is no reason not to have a permit.

When I bought my flat in Isleworth, I had to pay an additional £10k for an allocated parking space. Are the shared ownership flats cheaper than the privately owned ones?
ETA Why don't you ask the owners of the privately owned flats if anyone has a space they'd like to rent out?
