POLICE in Upton will be cracking down on people parking on double yellow lines and in bus stops.

Local police officer Allen Naulls said police would be making a concerted effort to issue parking tickets and warning notices to any vehicles breaking parking regulations.

He said a lot of drivers are abusing limited or no waiting areas on the main streets in Upton and some of the back roads.

Particular problems are being caused, he added, by people parking in the main bus stop area in Upton.

“People are parking there and then when the bus comes along and cannot get into the bus stop it has to stop in the middle of the road,” he said. “It brings everything to a standstill.”
