I was unsure about metered parking but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. It should stop 2 car families taking up spaces and limit the commuters parking for free on my street. If they mark the bays it may also help stop the ridiculous parking antics of my neighbours who park their car in the middle of two spaces.

Community Council leader Allan Clark claims the city council is using scaremongering tactics to try to frighten residents into backing metered zones with a permit system for residents.
This is what we have come to expect from liebour infested GCC scaremongering lying and bullying is what liebour do best.
They make excuses to fleece the citizens of Glasgow at every turn.

The first permit per household should be free (fairly equitable - it is unfair to suddenly charge people who have been parking outside their front door for years). However, any second permit should be charged considerably more highly than the existing charge. These streets simply weren't designed for two car families or 8 cars per close.

[italic]Last night, I attended the meeting in Broomhill Parish Church. It was my intention to hand a letter, transcription of which follows, to the representative of Land & Environmental Services. Unfortunately, and despite having been invited, the Department was not represented.[/italic]
I would be obliged if you would clarify a situation which is causing me, and no doubt others, much concern and confusion.The following extract from The Land Registry of Scotland is, I believe, quite clear.12.
[bold]BOUNDARIES AND REGISTRATION OF TITLE 12.2.3 Legal Presumptions[/bold]
[bold]b. ROADWAYS - PUBLIC ROADS[/bold]
The normal presumption is that they are owned by the adjoining owners up to the centre line of the road, (medium filum) even if the highway authority maintains them, unless the highway authority has specifically acquired the ground on which the road is built, in the absence of a recorded title to the ground on which the road is built what the highway authority has is a right of passage in trust for the public.
Deeds of Title confirm that the boundary of my property extends to the centre line of the road.
The content of your correspondence indicates contradictions to the above.
Please explain and provide the legislative references which serve to supersede the aforementioned documents.
[bold]According to my Deeds and the definitions within Land Registry, I own that section of road adjacent to my dwelling. i.e. The section of road on which they wish to charge me, and or others, to park a vehicle/s.

In the states, most everyone has a private driveway, and those who do not use a car park. No problem here with that sort of thing. In big cities street parking is done with meters and carparks. Still no problem. But I do agree with the person who suggested that the first one should be free, then any second ones charged for. That seems fair.
