Tollerance,

 

From your reply I presume you live in one of the inner quads and benefit from a larger garden as a result of choosing a communal secure car parking space- fair play. However, how can you expect those who have forfeited part of their garden for the 'security' of their vehicle to pay for your larger garden and still securer than their car parking space? I fear it is you who wants your cake and eat it.

The problem doesn't seem to be that people totally object to paying for the up keep of the community, it's based more  around the proportionality of the fee those who can't fully benefit are expected to pay. Would you contribute for an outer quads drive gates to be maintained should the need arise?

It's unfortunate that money can bring about such bad feelings amongst neighbours.
