    Small world, I posted a second correct link.

    I've got a property in Windmill Avenue and the area seems to be ok, hence why I'm looking at Oak Road which is just behind it.

    I'll take a closer look tomorrow and maybe call Highway Dept.

    Err, I live a long way from you....like 220 miles.

    Maybe my Google cookies focus it on my area by default?? It was just a bit weird!

    Yes, the original link just takes you to whatever your default Google Map location is.

    I don't think you are going to get off street parking in that road. The parking bays have been provided for parking. The stakes in the grass are there to stop people from parking on the grass. The fact that they are there means that there is a parking problem in that road.

    What sort of tenant do you get in that area who wants to rent an ex council house?

    Tenants that pay!! What's wrong with ex council houses??

    The posts are there because the road is narrow, stops the temptation to shove it up the kerb, as said, I've already got property in the area and the parking is no worse than elsewhere, actually much better most.
