    I use a van for work and have to park it at home as part of my contract, why should I have to pay higher rates for that, or pay for parking somewhere a distance away from my home?

    Parking provision (and lack thereof) is the fault of the builder/developer/local authority, not the people who need to use that parking.

    Sounds like you’ve got a local parking issue that needs to be addressed, not collectively punishing every tradesperson.

      Why doesn’t your company provide parking? Why should other people not be able to park because people with business vehicles hog residential parking?

      I live in a road that’s nearly 150+ years old. Not sure that the planners foresaw vans and monster-cars. They were probably more concerned with horses and carts. I doubt trademen parked their carts and hitched their horses outside of other people’s houses in the street.
