IN THE Grove, Gravesend, only residents can park in the parking bays up until 8am.

Anyone not a resident parked in the parking bays is likely to get a parking ticket.

The funny thing is, there are no residents in the bottom part of The Grove.

This situation has created a strange ritual at 8am of people moving their cars from one side of the street to the other.

It is also causing problems for people wishing to pick up items from the post office callers' office, which opens at 7am and closes at 2pm.

People have to collect parcels and letters from there while on their way to work.
