permit parking question.

if our road is not permit and people use it to park so they dont have to pay for parking that is abusing the free parking to save a few quid in there pocket.

So people are parking legally where they are perfectly entitled so to do and that is "abuse" in some way?

It is a street with no restrictions so anyone can park there. Is that not the case?

And that's the beauty of the permit scheme. All becomes illegal, and now the only thing they're perfectly entitled to is a ticket. The system works both ways.

Currently there is no permit scheme in place so no abuse taking place.

Just an annoyance.

Which is why I heartily recommend the op the start the process to alter the situation, and wish them every success. I am absolutely certain they won't regret it.

As I mentioned before I have a friend who is in a similar situation but there is no consensus from within the residents which would allow them to move forward.

In my own area parking permits were proposed some years ago but the majority of the residents voted against it and it was not pursued.

As long as there are no restrictions then anyone can park and unfortunately that seems to be the case for the OP

Abuse it is not

I agree entirely with you
No restrictions, anyone can park. A permit scheme, and the op gets his street back. As you say, the task is to get everyone on board to the benefits.
