Edinburgh Council have rejected a bid from a local family to create a new parking space in their garden.
Gordon Bain and Sophie Lowry, from Viewforth in Bruntsfield, reached out to the council last year and said they could not get their compact Skoda Fabia parked in their street, or even anywhere near to their home.
They say they have a young family and this was making their lives a misery so they wanted to create a space in their own garden.
