I’m ecstatic for you garinda but what about your neighbours? Or is it a case of “pull up the ladder Jack, I’m inboard”?

I can accept the need for having a permit for on road parking in front of your own home in crowded cities so that when you come home from work you have somewhere to park. I also accept that to administer such a scheme it costs money, so the permits have to be paid for by the user. But this latest crackpot idea is absolutely ludicrous.
Richmond is a relatively wealthy suburb, in of one of the most populated cities in the world.

Happily my neighbours care about the environment, and don't drive gas guzzling 4x4s just to take their little darlings the short walk away to school.
