Dear Ben,
 
Thank you for your message.
 
Further consideration has been given to the various options previously identified as a possible solution to your particular set of problems. In view of latest developments, the Council would be prepared to make a second permit available to you at a cost of £30 per annum. You are already aware that the Council's new model residents parking scheme will make second permits available at a premium price of £65. However, in making this offer I have taken account of the points you have raised about the potential benefits of being able to chain both of your bikes together and of the argument put forward about the amount of roadspace that would be used.
 
The new scheme is not scheduled to be rolled out into Zone 3 until around April 2007 although preparatory works and advertisement of the relevant Traffic Regulation Orders will commence in January.
 
This reduced price second permit is being offered with immediate effect in order to try and assist you. The second permit would be issued on the clear understanding that it could not be used in a motor car and would be marked to identify it as being for a motorcycle only. Any abuse of the second permit could lead to it being withdrawn.
 
If you would like to take advantage of this offer please contact Mrs *** ***** in our Parking Services team (tel ******) who will be pleased to provide you with an application form.
 
I hope this solution will be of some benefit to you and your partner.
 
Best regards
 
John Jacobs
