Well it has been nearly 4 months since I began my correspondence with Ipswich Borough Council on the subject of Residents Parking Permits and motorcycles, so far my only breakthrough has been in getting the Principal Parking Officer to actually reply to me. I have been told about schemes that are due to begin next year, and I have been ignored, There has allegedly been a special meeting held about our case, however I have not yet heard anythign substantial about our case. The most I seem to have heard from the Council is "Well we did a study last year and the issue of motorcycles was not raised," that does not change the fact that it has been raised now.

The reason for this quick update is that my partner received a note from one of the local residents this morning, wrapped in a plastic bag and left on her bike. It reads as follows

To whom it may concern can you park your contraption in your own street as you are pissing off the residents in this street, Thank you for your co-operation.

Whilst I can understand their frustration, the fact remains that nobody has a legal right to park outside their house. This is not our doing, it is in fact the councils procrastination that is affecting other residents.

This has to stop now
