‘Resident and visitor parking permits penalise Camden residents for problems mainly caused by non-residents’

• YOUR correspondent (In a race to reduce car emissions, October 12) raises a number of valid and reasonable objections to Camden’s proposals relating to parking and vehicle usage.

I have another objec­tion. In their document relating to the proposed changes, Camden state that 64 per cent of households in the borough do not own a car.

If that is the case, then logically it must follow that a very substantial element of the pollution and other car-related issues they are attempting to address is caused by traffic from outside the borough.

Camden’s proposals do little to address this and the high increase in the costs of, and the changes to, resident and visitor parking permits penalise Camden residents for problems mainly caused by non-residents.
