PARKING wars are escalating in one part of Plymouth as dockyard workers clash with neighbours as they struggle to find somewhere to leave their car for the day.
Around 2,500 people work at Babcock in Devonport, and many of those drive to work. This is not a new dilemma but, currently, with no designated parking spaces for workers, this long-standing issue has intensified.
A car park near Camels Head, which was being used by dockyard workers, was recently 'taken away' as a parking option, one worker said.
At times, parking fines have been issued to dockyard workers, some say, and the situation is 'causing arguments' between residents and workers as residential streets become saturated with Babcock workers at all hours.
