Good morning, these are the latest ECHO headlines today.
Parking 'nightmare' in streets where households have 'up to six cars' each
Parking has become a "nightmare" for people living in one part of Liverpool where some households have 'up to six cars' each.
Tensions are running high in the Dales area, off Smithdown Road, which is the most densely populated area in the city due to a high number of HMOs.
Roads in the area have become tightly packed with parked cars, making it hard for people to find a parking space anywhere near their homes.

Some residents have reported cars being parked on pavements and on street corners, forcing schoolchildren, as well as people in wheelchairs and parents with prams, to walk in the middle of the road.
Siobhan, 53, who has lived in the area for the last 31 years, fears the sheer number of cars in the area may restrict the emergency services from getting access to houses.
She said the issue with parking is bad on her road that people have resorted to parking in the disabled spot she has for her son.

She lived on her own in Cairn Court in Thatto Heath, Saint Helens, where Woodward moved in 2019 with her two children, including a boy with ADHD, who the victim began helping with his learning.
