Parking permits

Our borough has started residents parking permits over the last year, many of which were not wanted. At the time we were told there would be no charge, they have now decided that due to the fact most other areas charge for them they will start to.
If you have permits could you just let me know..
Do you pay?
How much?
Which borough?
Thanks

It’s within another city, but the area is similar to Soho.

1 free house owner permit.
Each guest permit £30.

I used to pay £40per permit in Plymouth ten years ago.

Not in London, but we pay £35 per year per permit (max 2 per household) and visitor scratch cards are unlimited and £0.25 each.

We paid about £90 a year in Enfield I think? And it was £10 a book of 10 visitor permits. We were two streets away from the tube station though and it would have been rammed without it.

I live in West Kent, i pay £40 per year for my car permit and get 10 visitor permits free (£12 per sheet of 10 visitor permits if i want more).

In London Camden depends on size of engine and age of car mine is £140. For the year but I can park in a large area of the borough for that, so when I go shopping in town ect, it doesn't cost me anything. X

Small market town in cheap part of the country.
Resident parking permit £10/ year. Max 2 per house.
Visitor parking permits - one book of 20 tickets per house hold per year. £10.
Public carpark first hr free, £1/hr after that.
Parking permits only required 9-5, and not on Sundays.

Another sticking point is our permits limit us to a single road. So we are very limited to space.

We are also a mile walk from train station, town etc. No local shops, hospitals or schools to cause parking issues

£35 per car per year ( with stringent checks to asserting you and the car are indeed residents ) free parking for 2 hrs on the same streets for non permit holders , some days I end up parking over 1/2 mile from home due to no spaces left , ridiculous

I have a drive and am in London but it's permits or pay-at-machine here. Not sure how much as don't need to use it, but a friend just outside of London went from 1 free permit per household and 2 visitor books to £30 for a first car and something like £150 for the second. But there are too many cars and not enough spaces so what else can the council do?

Can't remember exactly how much it was but anything up to £100 annually (depending on size of the car) for central Edinburgh and there are also pretty stringent checks to ensure you live in the relevant zone and that you own the car.
