Parking In London – The upset of NCP
Here is an article by an editor in S.Wales about the dreadful parking in Cardiff, and how parking prices in cardiff are escalating. Parking in cardiff is becoming more expensive, and parking in cardiff needs a solution NOW.
God bless NCP – no one else is botheredJul 9 2007
by Our Correspondent, South Wales Echo
WHO are we, the people of Cardiff, to oppose and complain about NCP’s price charges?
After all there is no viable competition providing an alternative service.
NCP as a business has every right to exploit and increase its shareholders’ profits. Why not?
Two and a half million, plus interest accrued, plus cost incurred, equals better public transport plus better park and ride facilities.
But nobody has campaigned for these facilities as vigorously as they opposed the NCP charges.

Nobody made a fuss that increased council tax has not brought improvement to our public transport.
Councillors who get on their high horse in the interest of their public are no different to NCP shareholders making a profit from their public, but unwilling to declare it.
God bless NCP!

Parking In London – Youcanpark.com
Heres a great article on parking for america. parking in London needs the same attitude, using buildings for mixed use in order to try and solve the nightmare of parking in London.
While many cities and towns from New York, Chicago and Hoboken to London, Paris and Tel Aviv are moving forward with multi-use buildings and redevelopment of their downtowns, some projects are being held up because of the need for parking space.
Local parking regulations require building developers to provide a certain number of parking spaces per “X” square feet of office, commercial or residential space, as even environmentally conscious residents of high-density communities want to be able to access their cars on the weekends and other key times.
In areas such as Los Angeles, the adaptive reuse movement to renovate blighted historic buildings virtually ground to a halt because of lack of parking. Architect Wade Killefer, founding partner of Killefer Flammang Architects, says that lack of parking is keeping some 140 sites in Los Angeles from being converted into housing, parks and other space.
Automated parking garages are one the creative solutions being proposed to address these problems.
Automated parking garages utilize computer-controlled motorized vehicles such as lifts, conveyors and shuttles to transport passenger cars from the arrival level to a parking space and vice versa, without human assistance. Customers simply drive into a friendly entry bay and stop, exit and lock their car. Upon return, the automated parking garage system retrieves the car and quickly delivers it to the driver in a convenient exit-facing position.
Automated parking garages have captured the attention of building and real estate developers, architects, builders and municipalities, not because of their cool, futuristic robotics features, but because of their space-saving efficiencies. Automated parking garages can hold two to three times the number of cars as traditional ramp-style parking garages of the same volume. This enables building developers in the US, Europe, South America, Middle-East and Asia to meet their parking requirements in less space and thus be able to profit from more housing, office and or commercial units than they would have with a traditional ramp-access garage.
Urban planners and architects in the US, England, Canada, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Japan, China and dozens of other nations also like the idea because it gives them more design flexibility and enables facades to match the architects vision, and not stand out as neighborhood eyesores.
The idea of automated parking garage solutions has also caught on among green building movements because cars and vans are parked with their engines off, significantly reducing exhaust emissions and the problem of carbon monoxide and other pollutants creeping into the surrounding office, residential and retail space.
”The amount of land consumed by conventional parking garages in proportion to the habitable space of the buildings they serve is enormous,” says architect and CNU member, Neal Payton, of Torti Gallas and Partners. “For that reason, we have a number of clients planning major urban projects utilizing robotic parking, primarily to save land and to make the projects financially feasible.”
Having exhibited at the International Parking Institute’s annual conference and expo held in Tampa, Florida in May, Rafi Stoffman, VP Sales and Marketing for Unitronics, a leading provider of automated parking solutions in the U.S., reports, “Parking is a growing problem in almost every city in the US and around the world. The search for parking places a burden on city streets and adversely affects the environment and quality of life,” says Stoffman.
The Unitronics automated parking garage solutions executive adds: “The good news is that the real estate, building and parking industries are working together to help alleviate this problem. The high number of visitors to our booth and interest in our new generation Automated Parking Solutions are proof that the North American market is taking off, and we’re excited to play a key role in this movement.”
Automated parking provides customers with a valet-parking like experience that is fast, safe and in many cases, less expensive or equal to regular parking solutions. The automated car retrieval process can take between one to three minutes depending on the size of the system and the location of the car.
Additional advantages include the fact that customers no longer have to waste time driving around looking for a parking space or trying to remember where they parked their car upon return. They also benefit from reduced risks of damage and theft and increased personal security since the actual parking area is not accessible to the public.
Creative parking solutions can go a long way towards making our world a cleaner and nicer place to live.
This technology could be fantastic for parking in London, improving parking in London for people looking for better parking in London.
