Now making it less attractive for anyone to visit Reading at all

For example I want to host a party for my son's first birthday, a joyous event that I would like to celebrate with family and close friends at my home. But because of the permits I am having to re-think my plans as I wouldn't have enough permits for my guests. Ten guests, arriving at midday would require twenty permits! one whole book in one day!

It's a shame overnight/evening visitors need to use a (paid for) permit at all. I think there should be up to 5 free books but those that need them should have to order so that there is an incentive to restrict parking.

It has never been a problem in the past so why now!! I can only conclude that it is another way to raise taxes by the back door.

It simply seems to be a money raising con by the council at the expense of the residents. If they are to offer half day permits, why are they
Not issuing 40 (20#2=40)and why not allow 2 permits to run from 10am to 10 am next day.

As I visit permit areas a lot to see family why should I be governed by what times to visit due to new permits. If I choose to visit half hour before first permit expires then have to use a second to stay longer or leave. I think the idea is pathetic.

To cut down the visitor allocation in this way adds extra difficulty and costs. It makes having contractors working at a property very awkward.

We are regularly visited by our children and any changes to the permits is ludicrous especially since we already have to put up with all of that noise from the Supported Living Unit at number 11-13, the council should start spending taxpayers money more wisely and try and help us instead of being greedy parasites

Also, my grandparents live here and are regularly visited by their children so this causes a great inconvenience

As there is no need to change the parking permit system. It isn't hurting anyone the way it is now. Its just an idea from the government to make more money! which they deffinitley do not need. They try and make everyones life akward instead of trying to make it easy. Which is what their job is supposed to be!

This new system is a blatant fund-raiser for the council coffers and will obviously put yet another nail in the coffin of family life for residents who live in or near the town centre. Especially for those who have no wish to relocate, or the means to do so. The fact that the number of voucher books we can purchase per year has been reduced is yet another JOKE on we long-suffering residents.

For instance it means I need to use two permits if a repair man turns up at 1pm and can't finish the job before 2pm. People also need to use visitors parking permits when changing cars. Probably requires additional parking wardens going round in pairs with cameras to check cars and issue fines. The altered scheme does nothing to improve availability of parking spaces. Further evidence that the council uses parking fees for raising income?!

It won't reduce the amount of cars needing to park in the residential areas. The council knew there was insufficent parking when they gave permission for so many properties to be converted into multi residencies and now they are asking the public to fund their short comings.

The parking permit scheme has had nearly a 100% increase in charge due to the half day permits, and that's before the 8am rule has been applied which is a joke. I've had two parking tickets this year for minor mistakes on filling out the current parking tickets correctly, the new scheme lends itself to more errors and more unjust tickets

She lives on her pension and cannot afford to keep paying out for extra permits. Also it seems we now have to pay £300 for her carers permit. How is this fair when if she owned a car she could have a free permit !!

What will happen if visitors arrive a few minutes before expiry of morning slot and leave just after 2pm. Already many local tradesmen park their vans in the middle of the road with their engines running in order to avoid tickets this problem will only increase with the change of rules.

Tell you what, I'll just invite her to park for free in Burton and we'll not spend any money in shops or restaurants in money-grabbing Reading.

Reading Borough Council have doubled the charge and reduced the amount of permits allowed. I only found out about this because I'm applying for more visitor permits. There was no other communication with residents about this proir to the change. What are they doing!?
