Dozy parkers have road markers licked in efforts to complete Arbroath paint job
ByThe Courier Reporter
Dozy parkers have been given the brush off by workmen laying down the law in Arbroath.
Line-painting teams were out in the town re-marking restrictions in the West Port area.
But illegally-parked cars got in the way of them completing the job and the paint crews were forced to return to the scene of the crime to join up the gaps they left in the single yellow line by painting around the vehicles.
One resident said he was astonished to see the lines laid down around the cars just yards apart.
“Illegal parking is a problem around this area people ignore the lines all the time,” he said.
“But what a waste of effort to have to come back and finish painting the lines because they couldn’t get the cars moved.”
An Angus Council spokesman said: “As a result of cars being parked on single yellow lines, contractors operating on our behalf in the area were unable to complete the work at the time. Cars should not park on single yellow lines in Arbroath’s Dishlandtown Street between 8.30am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday.”
