H&F is considering bringing in a consistent parking charge scheme for residents. "Cllr Andrew Johnson, cabinet member for housing, said: “We have inherited a ludicrous situation from the now defunct arms length management organisation that sees some residents pay £137 a year to park their cars close to their homes while their next door neighbours can park for free. At the same time our tenants and leaseholders in street properties who want to park their cars have to pay £119 for a parking permit.
The new system would provide all estate residents with a first come, first serve opportunity to park, with no guarantee of a parking space, similar to on-street parking. Penalty Charge Notices will be issued on illegally parked cars.
Similarly, there are a number of different charges for garage rents across the borough and there is a need to improve the condition of lettable garages. To rectify the problem, the council is asking residents for their views on increasing the weekly charges for a garage or motorcycle garage to a level nearer the market rate. The revenue collected will be used to improve garage facilities on estates."

Residents should have received a letter from H&F by today, about the proposed changes to parking and garages, on the Lytton Estate. If you have concerns about these proposals, make sure you get your response form back to H&F, for the 9th January 2013.
