The saga of the parking scheme to be introduced in our area is on-going. It was approved in the Park area on June 7th and is still undergoing approval for others in the proposed 9 areas affected. As far as we go for Park, all the lines have been drawn up on the streets, the machines installed, we just didn’t have a start date. Already commuters have stopped parking in the area and it’s more than possible to find parking during the day which strangely enough – is not really a relief.

I guess the sight of the machines is enough to warn them off. Perhaps, they think that one day after walking back to their car after work that miraculously, the entire force of the Glasgow parking officer brigade will be busy ticketing those of them that haven’t already been scared off by the offending looking machines.

The area of Napiershall has been overturned completely, and another victory yesterday was a reduction in resident permit fees from £150 to £50 annually.

A small victory, and not nearly far enough, but certainly proof that a voice in numbers can still be heard.
