PARKING should be a number one priority in future street design, according to the RAC Foundation.

Responding to recent Government research entitled ‘Attitudes to Streetscape and Street Uses’, the foundation believes parking should form an integral part of transport policy.

Research by the Department for Transport (DfT) has shown that 71% of respondents thought everyone should have a parking space outside their house and 84% would like to have a say in designing their street.
