Do you think it's a good idea? personally i think it'll help but it appears to be causing a bit of concern in my street.... mostly due to those in unconverted houses getting the same allocation as each flat in a converted property.

Does anyone know when the residents parking rules are planned to come into force, what the entitlement is and how much its likely to cost

The details are on the council website. I think it comes into force in January. Allocation of spaces depends on how many off street parking spaces you have.
My wife works in a school in Clifton and drives as she not only has to take a lot of school books but also takes children to the school. When the RPZ comes into force then she will not be able to park so will be forced to use the non existent public transport service into clifton whilst transporting more books than she can carry.
For clarity: I do not think it is a good idea.

Edited to add: any residents with a spare permit please get in touch!

I live in cotham and so have lived with rpz for a while now. It has transformed the area for the better. Great for residents but a nightmare for commuters.

Without wishing to be mercenary...What do you think it'll do for the price of rented off road parking? (I currently have an unused space on the pembroke end of apsley rd!)

Cannot answer that question, but if you park your car off the road can I buy your rpz permit from you?

Sorry but the space came with a garage I bought several years ago and although it's only a couple of 100m from my flat, I ordinarily park right outside.
