My opinion by Mercury reader Gemma Richmond: Don’t take your hard-won rights for granted

This week I’m afraid I’m going to get all serious and political. Sorry.

Car parking charges are under review

Maintain concession to common sense

The letters in last week’s Mercury concerning the imminent District Council consultation about car parking charges rightly focus on some of the anomalies currently seen in our car parks and local streets and the implications of the proposed charge for residents’ parking permits.

Questions for our politicians

Regarding ‘Leaving borders open defies common sense’ (Mercury letters, May 9), I am deeply worried by the rumour that immigrants are stopping British people from working.

How much will permits cost us?

About the suggestion of the possible introduction of a charge for residents’ parking permit, I think it all depends on how much the charge is going to be.

Car parking charges are under review

Suggestions to improve service

As the Director of Planning and Housing Services clearly states (Views sought over car park charges shake up, Mercury, May 9) ‘these are sensitive areas and the review is long overdue’.
