[Less]

HBC must be getting short of streets to put sleeping policemen on, so no doubt by spending £8,000 (don't panic this is only the estimate I'm sure the true figure will be two or three times this!) to widen the street. So, by widenening the street traffic will flow more efficiently & they will be able to apply to the E.U. for a grant for traffic calming.

How does widening a street make it better for parking any-way? I would have thought that to fit more parked cars on a street it would have to be lengthened? Or am I just being stupid?
