If you are a driver you are just a cash-cow

• WHAT is happening in Camden with all these parking issues? I live in Islip Street and it’s really bad here.

Yes, I understand the school zone, although they just all park on Frideswide Place now blocking all the garages. Well done!

Camden Council have put cameras up to stop cars and motorbikes going through Islip Street at school times but have failed to tell people what’s happening so they are making an absolute load of money just in fines.

And as for Hammond Street, what is that about? Permits have gone up yet they feel the need to remove parking bays and replace them with double yellow lines.

These were bays for people to shop in Kentish Town. So give yourself another round of applause. Just what small businesses need!

You can go down Hammond Street from Islip Street but not enter from Caversham Road so you have to drive all around the block. Yep, that’s good for the environment… it’s all about money-making.

If Camden Council were concerned about safety on Islip Street they would put proper speed ramps at the beginning of the street, which I’ve been asking for years.

If you are a driver you are just a cash-cow. Imagine we all gave up cars. Who would fund all this nonsense?

Contact the council if you need help? More chance of getting a doctor’s appointment. Nobody wants to know.
