10-8-2008I just thought I would pass on a mention of the SAS Drivers Survival Handbook, as it has some interesting points on Parking contained within in its pages. I came accross a copy in Oxford Central Library.nick "petrolhead" fell
08-8-2008I sympathise with dribble lemoncrats over the situation regarding the Liberal Democrats, in fact the London Road Corridor Improvement Scheme is an utter disaster in the making so far. The proposed bus gates will turn Headington into a ghost town and an economic graveyard. It is time to break Headi...morenick "petrolhead" fell
06-8-2008I live in an area where the Liberal Democrats hold sway. They too have not done away with Parking and Traffic Controls since they have been in power. Says it all really. They don't live up to their claim to be representative of individual freedom. Won't ever trust them again, I say.Dribble Lemoncrats

23-7-2008I have it on good information that in October of this year APCOA are due to be replaced as Parking Attendant enforcers here in Oxford by NCP. Also please be aware there are one date Penalty Charge Notices being dished out currently, they are invalid and should be automatically appealed.nick "petrolhead" fell
20-7-2008I have come into possession of some interesting intelligence today with regard to Summertown Controlled Parking Zone, it seems that there is a seething cauldron of discontent over Residents Parking Permits in Mayfield Road, and other nearby associated streets.

14-7-2008I have been reliably informed today that at least 13 Parking Attendants have given up their jobs at APCOA in Oxford apparently due to not being able to stick the amount of abuse that Residents have been giving them.
