Madness

Lucan is a mess with signs related to parking.
Having failed to acquire land for parking, when it was available, our not so local council, SDCC, have decided to charge for the pleasure, so our once beautiful village is polluted with double yellow lines and parking signs like the pic.
I'm often sure you'd agree that they are big, ugly and often unnecessary.
I figure one sign might do here with the application of a little grey matter??
Any ideas?
Does this mean that I could park a small vehicle in between for free?

Anyway I only posted this to remind you of Fatima's birthday on yesterday's blip, posted today
