Can someone tell me why residents have to pay for the privilege of parking on their own road? I still don't understand why it costs everyone ?100 for something that was previously free. The DVLA know who the registered keeper for the car is and where they live - surely any wardens should be able to check that - so why the extra tax/inconvenience? Motoring is far too expensive anyway. Any more costs and I might not take my daily leisure drive around forest hill environs anymore.....
