Fucking Christchurch car parking

[neels]

Sister in law had the same thing when she lived in town, they put parking limits on her street where they lived in an old cottage with no off street parking.

She just made up a letter stating that she lived at the address and how many parking tickets she had received, when the next one turned up she would just increment the number by 1 and send it to the council again. After a while she stopped getting them...

Obviously my issue is they removed the car parks then try and make us pay for the few remaining left and try and justify it by saying its in our best interest.

In this area there is a lot of early 1900's cottages and bungalows with no off street parking, they are either too ignorant or stupid to realise this to be a issue and havent planned accordingly. They have given residents 1 week notice to come up with an alternative, which the only one i can see is paying daily for a council car park, which from my house is a 10 minute walk away.

well since you dont seem inclined to militant action. Either petition, or get everyone in the street/neighbourhood to write in telling them to fuck off/next best alternative. Ie, restore teh parking space.
When that BS happens up here, we rates strike.
KDC my f@ken ars!

Who gets voted in there ... the residents or the council? Sounds like the tail is wagging the dog!
