Can we please be clear, i think your article is slightly misleading. Recently Paris, France, has increased parking fees for heavy vehicles with combustion engines and hybrids weighing over 1.6 tonnes and EVs weighing over 2 tonnes. The policy is designed to reduce visitors driving into Paris, however the policy does not apply to residents, taxis, tradespeople, healthcare workers, and individuals with disabilities. So, how can Lambeth police that sort of policy, it can’t!

You also suggest the policy was popular, we must be reading different articles.

There appears to be a legal challenge based on the voting turn out being so low, and the new parking rules look like they could be overturned.

I already pay £900 to park my SUV on the road, would it be fair to charge me even more as a resident that made Lambeth my home. Oh, and if I had off street parking I wouldn’t pay anything! Happy to have the debate about why I even own an SUV!
