Hi Michael,
We were trying to find out what sort of charges people felt were fair, starting at a low £60 pa given that we were offering controls for as few as two hours and Monday to Friday only. At the meeting following the council's own survey, they revealed the degree to which people were alarmed at high parking charges and th prospect of them rising higher still. As a reslt, HOPRA felt that we should send a message to the council about what level of charges people were prepared to consider (never mind what Lewisham thinks!). We did have a couple of generous souls who offered to pay £120 pa and one £150 pa - what I posted here was a summary of the key findings.
