most of our street is divided up into flats. our house is 7 flats with 8 people and most of the others are aswell.
We can only buy 1 parking permit per house (not per flat) so there are 8 of us to 1 permit. we can get guest permits but these only allow parking for 25 days per year so are no use.
We both have cars and need them to get to work (it takes over 2 hours each way on the bus, so i cant got to work on time)
if we can't park on our street or the surrounding streets we will have to either move or park a couple of miles away,
what can we do? it starts in september.

Consult with your local councillor, he is your voice at council meetings. With the number of people involved try and get him to visit site and meet with you all together.
If you don`t know him or how to contact him get in touch with your local council office, they MUST give you contact details.
If he or she is worth their salt and with so many people involved they should take you seriously and stand your corner.

As always councils do not think it through and then get officious when their money grabbing schemes cause protests.
I do wonder how long it will be before residents of a city/town get so fed up with em that they set the town hall on fire.
It's got to come if Councils refuse to hear what people say.
I am beginning to think that far to many councillors in safe wards are on the council because they are on the council

The proposal should be available at the council office for review. There may be a cut off date for objections, check you haven't gone past that. If you can still object then get together with the rest of the flat residence and file your objection. It may just be an oversight in the proposal that you can over turn.

Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do when the council decide on this. You and the local residents can write letters, raise petitions and all the rest you want to do. But when it comes to making extra money for the council... that is the no 1 priority....you'll soon see this.
But still try to fight it if you can. It will make you feel better that at least you tried.

Looks like a ****-up at the council to me. Each flat should count as a separate residence, and should qualify as such for a permit.
Get onto your council customer service department to explain this to them.

Appeal to your council They obviously didn't think about houses being divided into flats. This is sort of discrimination against those living in flats.

You can protest it would be easier if you get more people to protest in the area as many as possibile they treat it as a bigger case if you have more appeals.
