A new bid to stop bad parking by parents on the school run has been launched at a school in Exeter.
The go-ahead has been given for the painting of double yellow lines close to the primary school in Wheatsheaf Way, Alphington.
At the moment, apart from the yellow zig-zags, there are only single yellow lines and problems are being caused by parents on the school run stopping to drop off and pick up their children.
Local councillor Roy Hill said he supports the change.
He said that the headteacher has been having to police the situation. She has attempted to stop parents parking because of concerns pover the safety of children who walk to school.
Cllr Hill said: "Other parents are also very pleased about this.
"It means there will be no parking allowed between 8.30am and between 9.30am and 3.30pm and 4.30pm.
"It is only a minority of parents who are causing a problem."
