brencud - what you say about enforcement cameras is interesting.

I don't think traffic wardens alone will do it though. They already come up Dartmouth Road on their motorbikes several times a day but I'm sure they cut some slack, understandably, to the traders in the bottleneck and it only takes a few minutes of someone being parked there to create disproportionate havoc.

I'm really looking forward to seeing a solution - and one which doesn't impact too heavily on the businesses down there, many of which are well-established and hugely important to the town.
