A community council has claimed a decision to ban parking in parts of its town centre was based on the interests of "refugees and Gaelic speakers" rather than local businesses.
North Berwick Community Council has launched two petitions against East Lothian Council's parking management plan for the town which will see restrictions and charges introduced.
The council's plan splits the town into zones and includes residents parking permits for some areas, charges for on street parking and a ban on vehicles parking on parts of the town's narrow High Street.
