Parking spaces are strange beings. They are either available or unavailable, available from 9am but only until 6pm and some are only available on the 3rd Monday of every month. Designing an interface that supports all these variables is time consuming, brain draining and ultimately rather confusing.

Users of the website are already familiar with our parking space availability calendars which show a visual representation of the availability of a parking space at a given period of time and will be pleased to know that we have just updated our calendar so that it not only takes in to account successful bookings and the number of spaces you have still available, but also indicates the times at which a space will become available.

e.g. If George has a parking space which is booked from Monday 9am until Friday 5pm, using the old system, the parking space would be marked as unavailable from Mon until Fri. Now, instead of one of our `unavailable red cars`, a yellow `limited availability car` will be shown instead. Users will then be able to see that the space is only available after 5pm on the Friday.

We have done a few more tweaks here and there and have also improved out reliability ratings algorithm to properly reward our trusted users and to give a slap on the wrist to anyone that ignores enquiries sent by those needing somewhere to park.
