Make parking permits free for all who live outside a finable street

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

It is a disgrace that our local council can fine us for parking outside of our own house! Where else are we supposed to park? And the cost of a permit is completely unjustifiable! Make it free!!

My poor father with health complications has been fined for parking outside of his own house. There is no other place to park in the area, so it would require him find a space elsewhere (20 mins away) and walk back home. Not good for a man of great age!!

We got in touch with our local council and they said parking permits cost £50-70 per year? But why? Where does the money go? Yet again, proving that the government gives to the rich and takes from the poor. An utter disgrace.
