A new stadium, 600 extra homes and a council rule change has caused parking chaos in south London. Families are furious as AFC Wimbledon’s new stadium and recently built apartments surrounding it have opened in the area without enough parking being provided. Now they fear it will cause an overflow of parking in their residential roads. The new 9,300-capacity Plough Lane Stadium, that has a 20,000-capacity option, is in Merton but borders Wandsworth. Earlsfield families have now spoken out, including father of four, Samir Kab, who says his chances of finding a parking space in his street are already down to about 10 per cent.
