I'm on Ashbourne and have an absolute nightmare with parking. I've have 2 toddlers and often have to park miles away from my house and I loathe the prospect of hauling them, myself and the shopping half way down the street after work/nursery. I would hate to see ED with fully restricted parking, being unrestricted has I believe contributed to the "essence" of ED. However what drives me utterly nuts are the commuters who use the roads around the station to park for 12 hours at a stretch! They must be stopped! And I think that a solution to this lies in the system that's practiced in Herne Hill; where parking is restricted for 2 hours in the middle of the day. Surely this is a practical compromise?
