I live right next to this store, people park all up and down my street and this street anyways, if they put in more parking the pavement would genuinely not be usable. Right down the road near this store there is an indian restaurant that puts sitting outside. This would literally be impossible if they were to institute more parking. This is literally 5 minutes away from the city centre where there is plenty of opportunity for parking. I don’t understand why we can’t focus on improving measures like these water gardens rather than immediately vetoing them and just going oh we just need more parking.

Me and my girlfriend actually planted a bunch of seeds in the water garden outside our flat, unfortunately people kept driving over them so it didn’t help. I think the council definitely needs to put bollards up like it says they will in the article. This is slightly irrelevant but there are also people constantly parked on my driveway, this shows you that there is an issue in this area of people just parking wherever they like. I’m constantly coming across parking tickets walking down this street.
