In Brighton residents can buy visitors' permits allowing use of the
residents bay.

Same in London I have quite a few, you just sctatch off the details of
date and time. I have some 1, 2, and 5 hours 'tickets' but it doesnl;t
mention residetns as such it;s just a tocket that allows yuo to part
outside almost any house in the local area for the time stated.

Round here if you have a resident's pass

what's a resident's pass ?

You live in London and have to ask that?

Yes. As I don;t own a car I have no need to have a residents pass but I'm a resident .

Do you go around with your eyes
closed?
No, but I don't know how to tell a residetn from an employed person doing a job of the flat next door, half a dozen people coming and going and no one is living there so I'm not sure who the resident is if no one is living there.
Plus I only see them at weekends and if I get home before about 6:30pm.
Thney aren't there when I leave at 8am.

I have NEVER seen a residents pass can you show me what one looks like, I've never had one.


Most boroughs in London operate them. Parking areas restricted to
residents.

We donlt have them in my road.

It you want to park there, as a resident, you buy a permit. You
can also usually buy a daily pass for a visitor.

Like the £50 worth I brought for my brother to park but does that really make him a resident ? It also doesn;t give him the right to park outtside my place or even in the road. And ANYONE can use these passes a resident a none resident even a Martian.


I think we have that system 2 but I'm not sure if yuo can just turn up in an area and park and pay.

On some resident's bays anyone can buy a ticket at a meter, etc. But not
all.

What is a residents bay we don't have them unless you're disabled.

Lets make this even simplier.
If for some strange reason I wanted to park outside yuor house, could I phone up your councils parking people and say I want to park outside this person house for 3 hours on monday afternoon, can I have a vistors parking permit as I'm visiting. ?

I was told by my council I can't do this, and that I can only buy these tickets for my own area, if I want to park in your area I have to ask you and you can buy a ticket for me or on my behalf, but I can't buy one myself.
