Legalised Parking on the pavement

[Linford]

So, everyone has just one car then?

Don't be silly.

Still begs the question that the council must have done this to satisfy the residents living there as it isn't strangers dumping their cars on the pavement is it.

So many assumptions in that statement.

Define "satisfy"

If you really wanted to pish of a neighbour it'd be pretty easy.

Sorry, so you if covered this further up the page, then why did you post a poorly conceived reply?

Erm, the community is a much closer one that you or I live in. There is a mosque near as damned it at each end of the road. I would fully expect neighbours to resolve their differences after prayers before they went to the council to formalise the arrangement. We have lost that sense of community for the greater part which is a great shame.

I've just spent 4 hours filming a gig. It's late and I'm fairly knackered since my dog got me up at 5am this morning. I'll take a look tomorrow.

Built since 2001? ie when Prescott introduced a limit on numbers of parking spaces for new developments?

Yes, but there's no room in the development for more than 6 spaces, even if all the gardens were tarmaced over.

You know, I really think he does. Both that they're all brown, and that therefore they get on really well.

Frankly nothing would surprise me any more about Linford.

This argument is probably a completely irrelevant one anyway - a combination of recession, increasing fuel prices and the availability of other options will see private car use begin to wither fairly spectacularly within the next 20 years or so.

If you live in a terraced street and own a car, don't moan about parking it there - simples

Exactly, we agree. The streets been there longer than the residents. If you decide to get a car, you know the parking situation. Don't park on the pavement. Don't double park. If you can't park outside your house or even on your street, park further away.
Simples.

That is an extremely naive thing to say. It isn't the colour, but the community aspect of the prayer meetings which allows people to communicate better than most regular neighbours. My friends will stand chatting outside the mosque after prayer meetings and that is where the differences can better be resolved.

Yes, but there's no room in the development for more than 6 spaces, even if all the gardens were tarmaced over.

Do you own a car ?

[QUOTE 1913205, member: 45"]No, you're reading it wrong. No-one is saying that those living in terraced houses should only be allowed one car.

We used to live on a terraced street and had two cars. Sometimes we even had to park one around the corner. Big wows.[/quote]

So you shifted your problem elsewhere then, but will stand in judgement now over the residents there ?

I do, but do not have the right to a parking space for that flat, or a resident's parking permit - others need the space more than me. When I'm down there I usually park the car in the office car-park, nearly a mile away, and do this very odd thing called cycling to get between office and flat.

So your company is subsidizing your car ownership/cost of accommodation by allowing you to use their parking spaces. Hope the job's a keeper

It is. And when I no longer work for that company I will no longer need the flat.

do you pay tax on that as a benefit in kind?
