Developments including the Horlicks Quarter have caused dangerous parking problems, a new council report has admitted.

“The developments were permitted due to the council aspirations to reduce road congestion, air pollution and encourage active travel.”

It adds: “However, developers have not been successful in encouraging low levels of car ownership.”

The admission comes after residents of affordable homes at the Horlicks Quarter complained they’d been left with nowhere to park.
