I MUST sympathise with the residents of Palm Road who are experiencing parking difficulties but be careful what you wish for with regards to Parking Permits.

The people who are causing the problems now are nothing to the problems you could have if you do not adhere to the parking conditions.

The resident parking charges could cost you as you do not receive any permits or visitor passes for free.

Being a resident in a permit area does not give you the right to park outside your home and also if you have a commercial vehicle which is over a certain length you will not be entitled to a permit and there are a lot more conditions.

I live on the Shirley side of the hospital in a permit area and we also have the added extra of the Spires hospital.

I wish you good luck.
