A recent TRO says resident's will be charged 50% off parking permits for vehicles in Bands A & B of Vehicle Exise Duty. Where is the connection between CO2 emissions and parking? If my car is parked with the engine off ,it is not polluting,if it is running it is. |

Whilst sipping on a Gordons, tonic and lime... overlooking the Lac Leman and listening to BBC radio on the internet I discovered that Bristol Council intends to charge people for parking on the highway outside their homes.
The Dibble take it!

Certainly it`s a liberty - or rather, an Infringement of it!
Car parks, ar home or away on hols, I`ll even cruise around before I leave, to find someone to give my unused tickets to! |

I must agree with you Fluffy and I doubt that the non-transferability or the prohibition on resale is enforceable. I do find the fact that you have to buy visitors permits in advance, that they are only viable for one year and that you cannot get any unused ones refunded a liberty though. |

`Not transferable/may not be re-sold` is really High bloody CHEEK!. You pays yer money...that is, you hire a parking space for x number of hours... so, if you drive away before your time is up, you should have the right to pass on your remaining hour or whatever to another motorist. I make a regular point of doing this every time I pay to park and leave with an hour or more unused. WHY should folks pay for the same space twice??? |

No..
A new condition of use No 6 says :
This permit is non refundable, not transferable and may not be resold.
Luckily I only bought 10. |

can you hand them back for a refund if you don't use them all?

Just renewed my Parking permit at the new rate and purchased some more visitor permits.
Beware!!!
The new visitor permits are only valid for one year whereas the previous permits had a year to scratch up to 2010. |

Does the emissions discount apply to visitors?
At this rate, wardens might need a Ph.D in "Parking Studies". |

Which TRO ?
Has this 'discount' been publicised ? What was publicised was that parking charges would increase. |

Just another money spinner and a seemingly 'caring' gesture for the sake of the global warming lobby |
