Portsmouth Pigeon Parking
Most of Portsmouth has permit parking, which means if you live in a residential street with a sign like this you need a prepaid permit. The times vary from area to area and our slot is 4-6pm, which suits us as Tim gets home from work between those times and it means parking is easy for him. Portsmouth is the most densely populated city in the United Kingdom, with a population last recorded at 208,100, with around 37 people living on each football pitch-sized area of land. This means parking is challenging too, hence the parking scheme.
Most people have mixed feelings and it's annoying have to pay to park in your own street, but it does cut parking problems down, for us anyway. Most of my friends have been and gone by 4pm during the day so they don't need a scratch card and generally an evening visitor wouldn't come till 6pm.
This road is round the corner from us and a regular road for our dog walks. The pigeon on the post caught my eye and I had to get a photo on my phone!!
