I WRITE this with pure disgust towards Southampton City Council for agreeing to charge Southampton residents £30 for a parking permit.

I live in Zone 16 and am not guaranteed a parking space. I rarely see enforcement. Perhaps if the council ensured constant enforcement they could obtain their money that way rather than making us pay the tax!

We are already bled dry by paying extra council tax on top of the already expensive cost of living that everyone now has.

Thanks go to Jeremy Moulton for trying to fight our cause.
