We had massive support for this scheme in pockets of the area (the ones particualy affected) and hardly any in the streets that aren't currently so bad.

I agree that yellow lines would probably make the problem worse than it is now. Perhaps the only way to find out how the scheme would work is to reduce it and trial it in those areas where there is 'massive support'. The downside to this, of course, is that reducing the size of the scheme may not cover the admin and policing. Also the problem would then be shifted to the next street like the domino effect. But do they then decide to join the scheme ?
