Will the yellow lines stop offenders? I think not. Just this afternoon 15/12, I witnessed a van parked part way on the curb in High Street, while on the direct opposite side of the road a blue mini was parked with both offside wheels on the pavement by Boots. The council can paint as many lines as they wish, but what the town needs is a warden who has the power to issue fines to the culprits.
