Parking scheme is 'bureaucracy gone mad' says Blackburn resident (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Jobsworths again in power behind desks. No common sense.

Anyone who uses the term 'It's WHATEVER gone mad' should be fined a huge amount.

why would you need your insurance doc uments to apply for a permit. he's not a car dealer, changing cars every other month, do the paperwork in advance, its your fault if you get a ticket, put up and pay up

how can you get insurance for a car before it yours ?

You notify the insurers and ask for a certificate to commence at a date you give, and inform them that at present moment you're not in possession of the vehicle. They will propose to send you a cover note with a one month expiry date. SIMPLES!

...and why are nutters on this page thumbing down 2 for 5p for the accurate comments made???

Have you read the article?

He paid one fine but it has happened again despite this time him making the appropriate arrangements.

Roads are people's roads car owner's pay road taxes and the resident's of this street should not demand "residents only parking schemes" other streets do not have residents parking only.So Mr Wearden goes to another street in othe part part of Blackburn with Darwen he does not need a resident only parking schemes.
This is unfair to other car owners and other residents in other area of the Blackburn with Darwen.
People like Mr wearden are selfish it's alright for him to park his car in other part of the Borough without parking restrictions and people from other part of Blackburn cannot park their cars in his street.I have no sympathy for him of his fellow residents.College and Hospitals should provide more car parks.There is a multi storey car park at Feilding Street never used.

Modan just because motorists pay road tax, they don't own the road. Road tax is to 'use' the road.

Too much fuss over nothing this article. My daughter constantly gets penalised for parking on land belonging to Network Rail. Simply write 'decent' letter and jobs a goodun.

P.S. Where's is Indian world power domination come to?

sencbl, there's no such thing as 'road tax'. What most people mean is Vehicle Excise Duty, and that isn't to use the road any more than paying duty on beer is to use pubs.

It seems to me that the council have had a comminication breakdown.
"The council said they had a record of Mr Wearden’s newly approved permit which he applied for in December."

If he has recently been issued a ticket then this would suggest that the enforcement officers have not been made aware of this fact and that thier computer systems have not been updated.

Unless there is more to it that is not being reported?

You continue riding your bike as your comments clearly shows you know nothing besides parking your back on a saddle.
Vehicle Excise Duty is also known as vehicle tax, road tax and car tax and is a tax paid for most types of vehicles which use or park on public roads.Prior to WW2 this type of road tax was paid directly into a special road fund for road construction.
Duty on beer is NOT to use pubs. You could have bought beer and brought it home and you'd have still contributed to VAT.

Vehicle Excise Duty (or Road Tax) needs to be purchased on all vehicles that will be using or parked on Public Roads. If a car is not be parked or used on public roads then a SORN declaration needs to be filled which exempts the owner/ user from the Duty/ Tax.

So it is not really a "tax" as it can be avoided if you do not use public roads.
I am unsure on the Beer Duty but I am certain that this is paid by the breweries and included in the cost proce of any product they sell? (I could be wrong)

You're absolutely correct philly VAT is included in certain food and drinks provisions when purchased. Road tax can be avoided by means of Statuory Off Road Notification. and then one wouldn't have to worry as to 'why' it is made payable in the first instance!

Only to be expected from this council! The worst council in England!

Mr weardon is not allowed to park his car in my street i will clamp his car it's not fair i can't park in his street.
He does not own the road or footpath in his street this is public and i pay concil tax and road tax.

That's the whole point: he did. If you read the article, you would see that even the Council confirmed that he had applied for the new permit when he said he had.
According to you, he should pay the fine for something he hasn't done.....

Residents probably don't "demand resident's parking only": bearing in mind where this street is, it is more likely to be a Council ploy to stop town centre workers parking for free....
