So we have

a subset of individuals who would exploit any grace period

Seems to me that the sensible option is to return before your parking permit is up, or put on extra time at the start to ensure.

We should follow trend of multiple cities in the US, all they're parking is done via app on a smartphone, no need for coins, tickets etc. I know this is more and more available in the UK but it should be done at a national level.
