Apologies to mods if this is in wrong place...

ETA i'm going to commute both days, it doesn't need to be overnight parking.

Honestly I wouldn't worry, that's the posh side of the river.

At that point the roads are all fairly wide, you should be fine. I suppose there is always the Zoon car park if you fancy the walk.

Google lied to me, that's the wrong side of the river, and some of the roads are quite narrow up there. However there are some wide roads, especially up by the park next to the suspension bridge, and it's quite posh.

i suspect my car will get towed for being an old banger by comparison, but it's mine and i love it.

bloke i work with has a family car, might try to bribe him to drive both days.

College Fields, just off Canynge Road is a nice wide road - should be ok there. It's fairly quiet as well.
