Thanks Sarah, as you will see from my Chiswick postings, I have tried e-mail Councillors at Hounslow and these have been returned.......so much for there 'uptodate' addresses. Below, latest offering to ChiswickW4. I just find it SO extraordinary that neither Macmillans nor Distric nurses have any knowledge of these parking permits, and the below contribution (partially reprinted from the ordinary Residents' parking renewal!) shows that it is almost impossible for anyone to truly understand if one is entitled. I should think most people would consider they were NOT! Hounslow is not kind to the Disabled Driver and Bob Charig Nov 04 (Chiswick websitd 04) shows another example and I have joined him in the past in hitting my head against the brick wall over numbered bays. I wish someone would take them on!Have received, by coincidence a reminder of my Residents' permit. Interesting, but uninformative. Under prices for Chiswick, we have firstly the number of vehicles owned and prices for them, then motocycles, then Medical, Carer, Vistor and Long Term Visitor. Finally Business charges. This is written under Long Term Visitor and above Business for Main Hounslow area, 6 months under Brentfodr, 1 Month under under Chiswick, Nothing under Gunnersbury! Confused? you bet, and English is my mother tongue........goodness help the rest! As it is written, it can only make the disabled person think that they are NOT entitled, only carers and visitors? and do they then have to pay extra, and why pays the carer or the visitor? So I suppose I have to telephone AGAIN, or ask for one of their original booklets. I might add that nothing whatever have I found in any of the various magazines published by the Mayor about facilities for the disabled as I posted above.
