This is an entirely different issue though Clare .. if 'these' people are parking indiscriminately, then a ticket should be issued. (sure you know not illegal to park on pavements, unless completely blocking it). It is about residents complaining that
their space outside
their house is being taken up by 'other' motorists .. different matter.
No, yellow lines are not going to help anyone .. nobody wins then, and space is limited now with the growth of the The Mount, and everyone having cars linked with not enough car parking space provided for staff and visitors.
Of course, the overall solution is encouraging people to get on the public transport, but as seen in schemes recently in our county and Manchester, nobody wishes to sacrifice their car ride to work for the sake of the public good.
