Why is it that I live in a permit zone area in Leeds, when my friend, who is disabled comes to visit me, cannot park with his blue badge outside my house? I believe that this is part of the evidence that shows clearly that Leeds City Council is just operating a revenue generating scheme and not dealing with parking issues, as when the rugby or cricket is on there are no traffic wardens to be seen, in this very same area, as I live near the stadium in Headingley.

Our City council seems to have little idea of what it is doing hence your dilema, the parking all over the grass verges at the edge of the St Anne's NO PARKING area and the hotch-potch that exists. There is no joined up thinking for parking but I think the LCC has just realised that there is a 'knock on' effect.

Perhaps some letters to your councillors will at least get you a visitors parking permit.

Unfortunately as I have seen in the Royal Park Primary school issue I have found personally that writing letters to councillors does not help the constituent as they just pay lip service and only go by their own agenda, the whole of LCC is run is a hap-hazard blinkered way, that treads on the everyday voting public that put them in power, I believe what we need is change.
