More generally, they will be asked it there was a particular cause of any parking problem and what other solutions they think would help.

Councillor Eales said the action comes as a result of longstanding issues raised by a number of concerned residents about drivers from elsewhere parking in the area.

He said: "It is apparent that in the Dallington/Spencer Division area there are competing demands coming from outside the area, Saints match days and rail commuters are just two examples.

"This review will help us to better understand the problems being experienced by residents, the causes and potential solutions."

While the survey is primarily for the Dallington Spencer area, responses from other areas are welcome and can be collated and passed on to Highways.”

The closing date for the survey is April 22.
