I MUST agree with local residents about their concerns over parking around the new medical centre/pharmacy/Co-op supermarket development in Barnton.

With the new Co-op yet to open the parking is already horrendous, but in fairness to the developers, the plans were on show for a long time for everyone to see in the old memorial hall before its demolition.

I think it's fair to say anyone living within a half-mile radius of the site must have been aware of the development over the past year and it should have shown up on a search by people moving into the area.
