    I followed your advice and I went to Bishop's Stortford and could not park anywhere because everywhere it's only for residents!!!!!

    Probably to stop people dumping there car on a street for a week or two while they fly out of Stansted on their holidays.

    Was that your intention?

    You are not forced to pay £100. You can use alternate transport to get there

    I'm surprised (not really) that you think it's fine to abandon your car in a local town when you go on holiday.


    I'm sure you can just park it where you want in Bishops Stortford. The police are very accommodating and will move your car to a secure compound until you want to pick it up. Unfortunately they charge about £150 plus about £50 per day.

    when there is no restriction in parking, I am free to park
    I am extremely surprised (not really) that you find that not acceptable
    is it ok for the local town to take advantage of the proximity of the airport making tons of money and jobs, while it's NOT ok to deal with the negative impacts of that, one of which is the increased mobility and parking usage?

    It's lucky for the locals that there is then :)

    Where do you live? I'll park outside your house while I do something for a week or so....

    Would that be acceptable to you?

    Thought not...
