At the end of the day, it&#8217;s the local residents who are mostly affected by commuters.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are not going to make it easier anymore for [commuters] to park. What we want is our residents to be able to park in our streets.\u201d<br \/>\nBusinesses interviewed by <em>The Cardiffian<\/em> agreed. Richard Swambo, an employee at Laura\u2019s on Cowbridge Road, said: \u201cThere are many car parks in the area, people just have to use them.\u201d<br \/>\nCoun Patel did have concerns that commuters and sports fans would move from one side of Canton to the other where the ratio of residential parking will remain the same.<br \/>\nIf this happens, the council will survey the area between the Canton library and Victoria Park to determine if the residents should have the same increase.<br \/>\nThe area around Victoria Park is the only part of the ward whose residents overwhelmingly disagreed with the increase, because of the popular splash pad in the park.<br \/>\nBut Coun Patel confirmed this area would not be touched even if there was an increase of residential parking in the rest of Canton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CANTON will increase residential parking spaces because commuters and sports fans have been occupying available spots.
