@iwrats Where's this from?
I would never have thought parking is an issue here, as there is plenty of space. I could park at least two cars outside my house if I had cars (I did park a huge hire van last week without problems). Perhaps a few specific roads like the north end of Kingston Avenue which is close to Infirmary, or perhaps just next to the bus stops (but I live only about 150 metres away from a bus stop)?
But why would commuters into the city park here? There isn't much congestion between here and Newington (except for 15-20 minutes created by the school run). Those who want to drive as far as they can, would't they go to Newington then?
Murray does cycle and supports cycling although I'm not sure how active he is / how much time he has in practice as he's Labour's only MP. I mailed him at one of the parliamentary cycling debates last year and he replied he'd like to go but was also busy preparing an important speech on post office closures on the same day.
Also he seems to be the type who wants to speak for the constituents, not try to change them or find alternatives, so if many moan about parking he might just echo that.
