High street to get double yellows

DOUBLE yellow lines are set to be painted on a high street in a town dubbed the “wild west” of parking a year after discussions began.

Parking is already prohibited on Chepstow High Street but the restriction is seen as widely ignored, leading to the deputy leader of Monmouthshire County Council branding the town as “like the wild west”.

Monmouthshire council, in September last year, suggested painting double yellow lines on the High Street which it hoped would make clear to drivers they cannot park on the road.
