iansheff Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Well according to the linked article below Kirklees are raising the cost of an Electric Vehicle Permit from £0 to £150, they also want to up the parking permits from £15 to £50. I wonder whether scc will do something similar. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/yorkshire-council-wants-to-increase-parking-permit-charges-by-200-with-electric-vehicle-fees-going-from-free-to-150/ar-AA1fCUZh?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=7ebe4bb1350c4b3ab8b27a5ea108ac7e&ei=8 Edited August 22, 2023 by iansheff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder this country is in such a mess. It speaks volumes of the contempt the Tories have for the voters, that they think they are thick enough to fall for this tosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which don't allow charges for parking on pavements, verges, except in London. Powers of Local Authorities are determined by Acts of Parliament.

I am starting to see growing concern about the blocking of pavements with these electric car charging cables. The more these electric cars come about, the more chance of it ruffling feathers with disability activists. I can envisage stronger legislation over the coming years to protect pavements from any obstruction, be it cars or charging cables. The debate is starting to open up.

Not when they are erected 3 feet in the air...it's also a trip hazard, especially for visually impaired people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
