Campaigners Happy At Westminster Double Yellow Line Plans

December 29, 2011

Double yellow lines are to be added to more than 170 road junctions in central London so drivers cannot park alongside dropped kerbs, a council has said.

Currently there are single yellow lines at each of the locations but the changes, from 9 January, will help pedestrians, said Lee Rowley, a Conservative councillor in Westminster.

Westminster Older People’s Action, an independent campaign group, said it was good news for users of wheelchairs and buggies.

But a Labour councillor, Paul Dimoldenberg, said the scheme would mean far fewer parking spaces in the West End on evenings and weekends.
