THERE are many and varied reasons for dropping the £50 charge for resident parking in Oxford, not least the many loopholes in the regulations that allow resident parking spaces to be taken up for free by rubbish skips, maintenance vehicles, and business permit holders.
Either we all pay to use resident parking spaces or we go back to paying nothing at all.
Ian Taylor’s letter (Oxford Mail, March 31), should have put the question to the council: ‘To where exactly are we supposed to move our cars when the council decides to impose another inconvenience order – such as cleaning streets?’ This ridiculous waste of money would not be necessary if human street cleaners were returned to everyday work, instead of using polluting, dust-creating machines that have little cleaning effect whatsoever.
