I've just spent 25 minutes driving around looking for a parking space near my house, to no avail. At nearly seven months pregnant and with bags to carry, it's pretty infuriating.

I've never had to search quite that long and hard for a spot before but it's often tricky parking on my road, which is very near the station and the main HOP parade.

Perhaps I should be careful what I wish for, but today I can't help thinking some kind of residents-only parking restrictions would be rather nice around here. Anyone else agree?
