Representation Summary:

Parking is becoming more of a challenge as people have multiple cars, forcing them to park in the street.

A lot of people on the estate now have kids who live at home, I believe everyone now owns 2 or 3 cars. As a result the cars now overflow onto the street. This has made parking a problem but the issue isn't that people in the nearby offices park here and walk to their office. This can be seen by looking at the parking in the morning, during the day and in the evening. You'll see mostly the same set of cars there the whole day. The issue is one that cannot be solved easily, the roads are narrow due to when the estate was originally built, people don't use their garages for the cars and people tend to drive a little fast down the narrow roads. I think another thing that makes people unhappy is that parents drive to Bucklers Court, then walk their kids to Warley County Primary school through the pathway. None of these issues can really be resolved through parking restrictions and I think the end result will be people asking for several permits and then I think the same problem will exist, presumably overstretched parking attendants and residents getting fines.
