Glad to see that Bristol City Council are listening to the public again...

Arse. That's great... I think I am about to fall into a loophole here. I live off Anchor Road (BS1) and do not have parking at home... I have applied for a resident's permit for BS1 but cannot get one because the allocation is full.
Now, the only free on-street parking available to me is residents only. Will I get a permit for that zone? No, probably not. Tits.

Sneaky feckers.
They know full well that doing limited residents' zones just moves the problem a few streets away and thus encourages those new areas that will now get a major problem to support the proposal (that will come, sure as night follows day) to extend the zone into their streets.
Thus, little by little the CPZ will extend to eventually cover pretty much all of Bristol, with everybody needing to buy permits to park on their own streets and furthermore pay by the hour to stop anywhere else.
Nothing but a stealth tax.

That's PRECISELY why it's such a pain in the arse... I do hire cars quite a lot so now will not be able to park them free within about a mile of my flat. I know with the central CPZ application you have to present a V5 with proper name/address on to actually get a permit, so I can't just "hold" one I don't think (Although at a tenner a year it's a distinctly attractive proposition). I might need to buy a £100 banger precisely to park it in the scheme... Resistance!Says the man with a bike....

Utter bunch of cock sucking knob jockeys. And just why does the scheme have to run from 0800 to 2100 Monday to Saturday when having a controlled 4 hours in the middle of the day will prevent 99% of commuters parking there? I f

The 8am bit doesn't bother me hugely. The 2100 bit does. This is effectively to stop people who live in/around the area (IE me!) from driving to work elsewhere. So basically it targets all commuters. Freeing up parking in the area? bking wonderks.Carreauchompeur said:

Not to mention the evening restaurant trade. It's just extra unnecessary expense and in the current economic climate that's really bad for business.ks.
