Radical Parking

We need a radical approach to parking that punishes the conistent offenders and rewards the generally law abiding.

1. More proper park and rides like Cambridge. Here they go right through the city from one side to the other, which gives stops all over the centre and no bus parking problems.

2. Much more parking at train stations. How many times do you want to use a train and the car park is full?

3. Fractional parking systems based on text messages, that change by the minute and give the first ten minutes free. They're working in Holland and some parts of London.

4. Doubling of parking fines. Tackle the persistent offenders.

5. Every year, one parking ticket can be cashed in against your road tax. Reward the careful, who get the occassional one.
