Letter in The Herald this week from 'Anon' who lives in a normally quite street until school opening and school finishing times.

The issue is not with the zig-zag, but with badly parked cars at these times of day. Nothing he/she can do really, as parking legally. Unfortunately, this person has been pranged a couple of times in the last six months before 9 a.m., the last one costing them £300 !

The school passed he/she on to the police, the police to the council, the council back to the police. Did point out that they were all sympathetic though.

Don't suppose anything can be done on this, except to enforce yellow lines, and then the residents wouldn't be able to park. Obviously selfish parents are just as selfish when it comes to admitting they have scraped someone's car.
