Residents Only Parking off Vic Ave

[Davros]

while living down a private road, i agree it is annoying when people park there that shouldnt, but then i pay a premium already, and certain ground charges for that privaledge.
I always get annoyed about the idea of people being given permits to park on a road that is public. I mean, isnt that what we pay road tax, MOTs and insurance for, to use any part of the road, and to park somewhere that isnt deemed unsafe (ie double yellows)?

Would you want people parking outside your house on Saturdays?

No, but then I wouldn't choose to live in close proximity to a large sporting stadium or shopping mall that would attract this kind of parking. You know as well as I how well the parking restrictions work around Benfleet station, that is what I'm saying they should have done here.

However, i see the other side of things... everyone pays road tax you know, and i become frustrated when i can't park my Lambo down roads with permit holders!

Unless of course its a couple , one who drives to work and one who either walks into Southend or to the railway station.

There was many a day when I lved in Napier Avenue that I could not park outside my own flat, the rest of the time when I could get a space outside, the meters were operational and it would have cost.

We used to have to park 3 roads away

Of course if people used public transport like they did when these houses were built it would all be a mute point.

I am thinking of setting up my self providing Brompton cycles to the commuters who are affected and provide information on the Cycle to Work benefit companies have to provide.

BTW S2TC why do you not use the c2c line?

Well, as many of you know, i live down one of these roads. It's great, i pay 15 quid a year, and i can park down my road. It's fantastic.

I used to not be able to come home for lunch, which was a nightmare, as i tend to spend a lot of money in the pub otherwise...

Stupid ****ing commuters **** me off..

Anyway, pay 250 quid, and you can have one of the business bays... if not - stop moaning..

I can understand frustration as not always getting space down your own road, I would be the same.

Honestly though, you live a five minute walk from two train stations and you complain about commuters....what do you expect??

I wasn't really moaning, I was asking what other Zoners affected by this sudden change were going to do now.

Pay you cheapskate! Perhaps our council tax will go down then!

Haha, lets say a round number of £5 a day (which it wouldn't be so low). You are calling me a cheapstake for not wanting to pay £1,820+ a year to park....
