That's just up the road from where I work.

Having said that, you could get a bike in there, and block off the alleyway.

I thought that too, motorbikes could obstruct that alley so the double yellow lines are not entirely crazy .

Excellent, good point about the bike blocking it off though. Someone needs to cut the side out of a scrap car and place it down the alleyway, reckon that would make a good photo

It's a

to park outside my house too with the ****** the people opposite trying to own the whole road.

Regarding the double yellow lines as mentioned it's not entirely a silly idea as a bike or bike(s) have probably been blocking the alleyway hence the council making the decision to paint it. It then gives them the right to take action if anything is put there as without they can't. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Mind you, how much would it actually cost to paint 2 lines of yellow... not much. they'll get that back in revenue when they have their bunch of east european traffic wardens wandering around the town*

* this isn't slander... i've seen them!

Is that what they call a cost cutting exercise?
