Locals have no more right to park outside their house than anyone else!



I'd say that depends on if your paying for local services, for parking.
where I live IIRC you pay about £80 a year to be able to park in your
local area.

What it actually means is you pay to park *only* in your local area.

No it doesn't you have to pay in an area that has controlled parking.
It's 'free' aka £80 per year in your own area only.
I think you can get one that allows yuo to park in any area but it's about £800 a year, or that could be a commercail version that my brother would have needed to park outside where he worked.
