I wonder if renting a bay instead of buying a permit would work. Letting those without a car at least rent a bay and leave it empty outside their home. Not entirely sure but worth a look as at least a start to moving away from so many cars.
I think permits just allow free for all in an area/Street which fills up quickly. So if you don’t have a car next door park one of three there.
Best sollution for parking in the UK would be to just make it a tax on drivers, take out the meters in council car parks etc, drivers then pay a flat rate each year and thats got you covered because at the moment people just use roads as their own private driveways, my neighbours family has 5 cars between them, all parked in the road, no bay parking round here so they’re generating no revenue from their use of that public space.
Simply hire a skip and stick a parking permit to it, what are they going to do clamp it?
> It is 115 times more expensive to suspend a parking bay in the UK, with an average weekly cost of £158.06, than to pay for a parking permit, which has an average weekly cost of £1.38, the data showed.
The person with the parking permit isn’t the only one that uses the space though?
Alternatively, parking spaces serve a crucial utility by allowing residents to go about their business, and should be protected against people using them for other purposes.
