Indeed. Or to conscience any remaining pricks, even.

It's the entrance to St Mary's, BD, at the junction of Connaught and Old Charlton roads.

If ever there was a junction that needed some double yellows.

I'm glad they removed the wretched thing. Hope it costs a suitable amount to be reclaimed.

I think we need to redefine the word 'parking' for what goes on at the Minerva/Heathfield & Minerva/Mayfield junctions. But all those Mayfield junctions (is that stony stretch between Nightingale and Astley private?) look like a power cut just hit the dodgems.

I'm sure as Howard did over the years , we can all offer areas of I considerate parking still going on today .

I used to live opposite the Diamond in Heathfield Avenue and it has got worse over time. I worked shifts then and could finish as late as 2am, yet I was always able to park in the road near enough outside my house. We are only talking about 15 years ago, but all of my neighbours then were elderly and had no car, or like me, had children that were of primary age and one car.
I keep in contact with an old neighbour there and the three houses to one side of where I used to live had 3 elderly couples. All have died or gone into care homes and those three houses now have parents with one car each and children who also own a car. Add into the mix that employers prefer their staff to drive their work vans home, it ain't going to get any better any time soon!
And Heathfield / Minerva are some of the easier places in Dover to park!

Just the same around Clarendons not built for cars
People now in houses owning 4 or 5 cars there's. Just not the space .

It's the same though bottom of Belgrave road where the pavement is quite wide , what now happens is vans and lorries park fully on it .
Not good for passing pedestrians
