So what does that actually mean, do locals want restrictions in place
so they can park their own cars outside, or is it they like the idea of
not parking outsdie their own homes ?


Locals have no more right to park outside their house than anyone else!


Point taken. But we live 200 metres from a station, with only on-street
parking. It's a pain. I don't mind parking 'only somewhere near' (and in
fact that's the norm as there aren't enough spaces anyway) but I would
like to park within a few hundred metres of where I live.

Less of an issue for me now; I simply avoid going out (mostly) until the
commuters have arrived, and/or stick the car nearby after they've gone
home. The station halved the size of the car park, too, which doesn't
help.





Buy a house with a driveway/garage.
