Parking is such an issue in Cranfield and what makes it worse is that CBC seems intent on making it worse. How? By stuffing schools and health centres up cul de sacs and suggesting we get round this by parking half on half off the pavement. Excuse me, the pavement is for people.
Now Eric Pickles, the govt's statutory northern bloke (understudied William Hague at one time) has come up with an even bigger wheeze 'Rentadrive'.

Is there is a grip anywhere and will somebody please get it?
