As you may be aware, Bristol is one of the few cities in the UK with an independent elected Mayor. George Ferguson does not hold just a ceremonial position however....in his hands is concentrated all the power that used to be held by the elected parties on the council.
This 'enlightened despot' position allows him to push through some schemes which he thinks are beneficial to the city, but which would be electoral poison to the established parties. One such thing is residents parking permits across the whole central part of the city.
the scheme has been slightly scaled back in its initial implementation, but make no mistake...if you live within one of the 18 proposed areas then residents parking is coming to a street near you in the near future.
To find out more about how it might effect your household, go onto the council residents parking website section.
