I've just applied and provided my bank statement, because I had one scanned in
and frankly couldn't be bothered to look for any of the other documents they
asked for.
However, it is utterly ludicrous that they are asking for such information.
They must have a system which shows that I have lived in this house for 15
years. They have electoral roll, council tax, residents parking records etc.
Its not like I haven't ordered visitor permits before either. Surely the only
record they need is to keep a log of how many visitor permits a household buys
in a year? It'll be blindingly obvious if someone is abusing it.
I shall wait for my visitor permits to arrive and then I will contact the
council to ask how I can be sure they are treating my personal information
confidentially. Should be fun.

Hi,
I have for the past two days been trying to order visitor parking permits.
Has anyone else had the following experience?
In the new system it is necessary to register and set up a password.
Then having ordered a book of permits a screen then came up saying
because there was insufficient evidence that a copy of something like
a council tax bill/bank statement etc. needed to be scanned to them.
When I telephoned the Council about this they said this would be
needed every time a book of visitor permits was ordered.
I was told that this was to ensure that people were not ordering
permits when they had no right to them.
Surely we can't go along with this.
They must be able to check against the details they already hold,
especially if we already have a resident parking permit.
Any suggestions about what we should do?
Gwen
