I'm sure this is well-trodden ground but I really don't understand what Brighton and Hove City Council expect you to do with your car if you live in Hove.

I would love not to have one but I work all over the UK so it's not really an option.

I moved into Zone M five months and four parking tickets ago.

I have now run out of temporary scratch cards so I have been leaving my car in West Hove and walking 25 minutes to get home but, this week, I found this area has been designated residents parking only.

I now have the prospect of having to get a taxi to and from my car.

Crazy. Does anyone have a solution (apart from changing jobs)?
