What about a village congestion charge? Surely there are local parish powers to impose something like this. So have CCTV type cameras at north and south end of the village (will also help with reducing crime and we can get the Community Fund or someone to pay for it if we can). There will be free travel for residents and workers who work in the village. Legitimate visitors get their resident hosts to type in a code and their car registration number via their telephone to the control centre so discharging them from paying the charge. This can apply to those who those who use the shops. All other cars get charged, say, ?5 every time they enter the village. We raise money and use it to pay for running the system (creating employment) and for other good things for the village. Voila! Jody [quoted text snipped - see the-hug.org/quoting.html]
