Residents Parking

No flak form me - totally agree that many people could reduce car use, and
even ownership.
However not everyone works in the centre, and I also strongly agree with
Charlie that something REALLY needs to be done about public transport (the
24 route through Southville is so consistantly appalling that it's
unreliability is all you can rely on). Costs of public transport to
travellors has increased much faster than motoring costs for many years.
And there are increasing numbers of 4x4's. What do people think they are
doing in these things, on the school run in particular. Still, no doubt
they need them for all the off road acres in Southville.
