lol

I think one of the key points in them needing to make it permit parking around that area is football parking... there isn't enough of it... so match days, residents who work or have gone out cannot park anywhere near their house

It's not quite the same as matchday parking, Accylass, in that the parking congestion is everyday and not just for a couple of hours every fortnight plus the odd midweek game. The main causes appear to be overspill from the hospital car parking facilities which appear to be inadequate, cars used by the staff at the children's nursery on Haywood Rd (plus drop off/pick up traffic at start and end of day). Finally , the residents themselves, some of whom have 2,3,4 and even more cars/vehicles to one address. Also there are a growing number of company/private owned vans that are parked overnight/weekend and these seem to be getting larger and longer! (this isn't unique to this area, I know, but on terraced streets they just don't fit)
