The best solution is to put in the child + parent spaces like they have in Ardkeen tesco, far enough away its only of benefit if you have a buggy and children. The pathway behind means its safe to pop out the buggy and put children in, its then safe to walk to the shop along the pathway. They could probably double the amount of spaces there though.

Parking on that high footpath just around the corner from the Golden Fry is unreal. Its pure laziness to stick the car up on the path, put the hazards on and leave it there for up to 30 mins while you get your food! Plus any cars coming around Lower Grange side will only see it at the last second so very dangerous. Theres plenty of parking outside the flower shop or church parking lot.

I'd absolutely love to be a parking warden for a little while. Would get pure pleasure hitting up all the usual spots. I'd even work Sundays for free just to have a pop at all the illegal parking at mass time up by Newtown.

school pick ups particularly primary (school ones) are another example of daily moronic parking behaviour and driver manoeuvres….you could target these also to enhance your day as a traffic/parking warden…😀

Parking outside the flower shop is an absolute disaster for anyone trying to pull out from the green. There should be double yellow lines from that corner up to across from the church. As someone who regularly has to pull out of there I'm amazed there isn't more accidents. It's bad enough having the bus stop just by the flower shop (it should be moved to half way down the green) but then you usually have some twat parked right on the corner blocking visibility so you have to pull halfway out into a lane of fast traffic just to see around them.
