Coun Mac McHugh said: “There are too many yellow lines and we’re losing more parking in the village. All you are doing is asking people to park on the grass verge on the other side which already happens on busy days.”
Chairman Shaun Whyte said: “You can’t allow people to park on both sides, that’s the problem.”
Coun Ed Williams added: “It’s not satisfactory as it is. It will be better with parking on one side only.”
