• TRACEY Oakley (Time to make your views known on parking policy, March 21) addresses the issue head-on.

Doubtless a number of residents purchased a diesel car in response to its promotion by the Labour government headed by Gordon Brown, only to be penalised by Camden Council for doing so several years later.

Surely everyone agrees a reduction in the levels of air pollution is desirable, but the establishment of the ULEZ ultra low emission zone and a significant increase in resident permit prices would have to be synchronised with an appropriate e-charging infrastructure.

Those of us who neither own a garage nor live in basement flats could not realistically charge our electric cars if we were able and willing to acquire them. The few charging stations in the NW3 area are almost always occupied.

Until such an infrastructure has been put in place the proposal to make changes to resident permit prices is untenable.
