A top barrister living on the edge of Hampstead Heath has urged Camden Council to re-think parking restrictions.

Charles Salmon QC, of North End, made a deputation to full council on Monday calling on the authority to change the current 8.30am to 6.30pm parking restrictions on his road to between 10am and 2pm seven days a week.

He said the restrictions make it impossible for mothers with children to park on visits to the Heath.
