residents in waltham fight CPZ – go for it guys

CPZ’s are a stealth tax which get implemented by pushing the commuter parking to new areas by moving the CPZ boundary, its a one way ratchet conversion as the CPZ reaches the fringe of your area the uncontrolled boundary area becomes a hot zone for commuter parking, enabling the council to expand the CPZ into your area, once your paying £25.00 – £101.00 a year it will just become another form of profitable taxation that vicariously allows the council to import and employ more foreign born african traffic wardens for no good reason, and over the years the council will increase the cost of it until in 5 years time, your paying an extra £250.00 a year to park outside your own house on top of Council Tax, the thing is a horror. Also none of your guests will ever be able to freely park or visit you without you or them paying for the privilege think about agreeing to CPZ’s very carefully.

They’re just stealth Taxation and more unneccessary cost and bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy in this country is currently too large, councils only know how to increase the cost to you the consumer of their services, they’re are a gaping waste of money, since they never manage to shrink they’re budgets as well as expand them. But then ridiculous rules on social housing don’t help the cost control for councils.

The situation before CPZ’s were invented was not worse, it just pushes the problem around, if theyre were no CPZ’s it would alleviate the focused stress points of commuter parking and distribute them better, after all people arent going to stop commuting by car to london and parking because of this, theyll just park further out, or waste more energy and productive time driving further to find a place to park, reducing productive economic activity Large underground cheap car parks would be a better solution.
