Some additional colour is now visible in the Central Car Park area of Warminster ~ double yellow lines have now been painted on both sides of the stretch of road between the Avenue Surgery and Warminster Library. This has been done following complaints from the public about cars parking here, causing inconvenience to surgery patients, in taxis or cars, trying to get in and out of the Avenue Surgery car park. Bottle-necking problems had also been created by the parked cars on the sides of the road, especially for lorries delivering to the stores at Three Horse Shoes Walk, such as Iceland and Superdrug.
But the addition of the yellow lines was still making for divided opinions today. One lady, surveying the new road markings, said: “I’m glad about this. It’s about time this was done. The other day an Iceland lorry couldn’t get through and caused a tailback of cars behind out into Station Road. No cars could get in and out of the Central Car Park.” But a man stood alongside the woman, said: “That was very handy for parking for those of us who don’t want to pay the car park charges. I shall be measuring the lines and carefully looking at any signage to see if what they have done is legal and binding.”
