I think that would be fair enough if it did always mean non-residential for the gadjes. But councils often stretch or ignore these rules when it suits them. By deciding not to do so here, they are essentially (it seems to me) choosing to gratify one constituency at the expense of another. Which is all well and good and part of the business of politics: but I don't think it should be portrayed as the regrettable workings of even-handed justice.
