Could the Car Club suit you?
Car clubs work well for people who want to give up car ownership or go without the second car. They also have a wider benefit to the whole community because a shared car can result in 6 private cars being taken off the road. This reduced demand for scarce parking spaces is a major benefit in a densely occupied area like Petersfield. The Cambridge car club is up and running with local cars at Queen Anne Terrace and Adam and Eve Street car parks. The club was brought to Cambridge by the Lib Dem City Council and is run by a London company, Streetcar (www.streetcar.co.uk ). Their website explains how to join and use the club - it looks like good value and very simple to use. Nichola has recently been in touch with Streetcar to ask them to bring more cars to Petersfield so the service is convenient for residents throughout Petersfield. Obviously they will do this more quickly if there is plenty of demand for the service.
