I find the only way to bear it is to take time off work so that I can go in the middle of the day. And I'm afraid I agree that it's not a very pleasant experience - the staff are indifferent and unfriendly. But I guess the resident's parking scheme has improved since the first year it was introduced when it was literally impossible, as a non-benefit claiming home owner, to provide the level of proof required to buy a permit!

Not quite, we do spoil the street somewhat if we insist on exercising our "right" to park outside our houses, especially if we have a really big white van.<br />
<br />
Parking is an economic externality and should be paid for. Look west and see the <s>absolute scum</s> politically active residents of HornseyAndWoodGreen who we are subsidising because they think they're cleverer than Brian Haley.

Actually, I guess we're being charged to prevent other people from parking outside our houses - we don't actually own the public road or have any right to a parking space in front of our property.

We use that down in Dorset (Ringwood and Bournemouth both have carparks on the scheme) via a company who you phone from your mobile with the carpark's individual number and your car registration number. You register your card and name and then the next time you ring they know who you are from your mobile number and it takes the hassle out. The ones I've used are NCP, but Bournemouth Council seem to be doing it for the carparks that they run.<br />

Haven't used it much as there aren't that many carparks who use it near here, but really has helped when there's no change in my purse and I'm in a hurry when out and about.<br />

Several years ago I lived in Harringay (Kimberley Gardens) and find it hard to believe that you people who live in Harringay are now being charged to park OUTSIDE YOUR OWN HOUSE? Can you not do something about it?<br />
<br />
I suppose I am lucky living in the depths of Cornwall now, but believe me my heart goes out to you unlucky people. Hope you can get this stupid thing turned round.<br />

I'm intrigued to know why the parking & payment shop is no longer open on a Sat morning or late on a Thursday, yet there's no online option to be able to buy residents vouchers etc.<br />
I know savings need to be made, but don't really want to take a morning off work to buy parking permits! Does anyone know if there's another council office that opens at friendly hours for anyone with job that doesn't have flexi-hours?<br />

There were several issues both connected to the original contract terms and the poor technology implementation. TFL broke the contract with the original service providers and signed a new contract with better terms and technology. This plus the additional costs of rollout explain why it wasn't used for the cycle scheme in the first instance.<br />

Unless you can do something tied to the payment of council tax I don't think you can replace that shop with an online one. So much of your presence there is to identify yourself and your right to what you're "buying". Now if each person paying council tax received a parking permit "keycode" that they could use to buy one online then that shop would have a lot less custom.
