Finding a parking space can be an absolute nightmare and the longer it takes, the more frustrated we all become. Whether it is in the city, the countryside or at a popular seaside resort the battle is the same. Britain has been recognised as one of the worst places in the world to park with 38 million cars in battle for a parking space each day. `Britain's Parking Hell' will travel across the country to document this ongoing struggle and give perspectives from those on the frontline - the motorists, councils, private parking companies and even innocent bystanders.
