Survey of Parking in Marchmont

Assunta and I drove around every street in Marchmont at about 1pm this afternoon. We recorded how many residents spaces there were free and how many pay and displays. Actually, we missed a few, so I'll redo those tomorrow.

Then, Janne and I did the same thing from 9pm to 11pm. This time we covered every street very carefully. The table below shows you where the spaces are. You may notice that there were NO permit spaces in Zone 8 Marchmont! I am now parked on a yellow line and I am looking forward to an early rise to move the car.

S1 has so many spaces that they are difficult to count! Long stretches with room for many, many cars are difficult to estimate so the error for S1 is probably quite high. Zone 8 is easy because there aren't really any spaces at all, so the figures are pretty accurate (particularly for residents' spaces).

BTW, Cameron and Monica have done the same thing for Sciennes.
I'll put the afternoon figures for Marchmont out once I've finished them off.
