Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat Home Office minister, and former Transport minister, has written to local authorities urging them to reduce yellow lines as part of a Government drive to rid the streets of clutter. Mr Baker suggests that authorities should think about using restricted parking zones instead, particularly in single streets. Mr Baker said: “No one wants to see unnecessary yellow lines blotting our towns and villages when there is an alternative. They are a clear eyesore that can be intrusive and can have a huge impact on the look and feel of our streets, particularly in historic town centres or conservation areas. “I encourage local authorities to think about the use of restricted parking zones. They can be used to improve the visual impact of the street while providing clear information to motorists.”
