Mum faces abuse for parking on busy A-road after parking spot removed

A mum has faced abuse for having to park on a busy A-road after double yellow lines were painted over her usual parking spot. Laura Murray, who lives in Keynsham with her son, originally used the on-street parking on Pixash Lane which was removed in February as part of work to accommodate the new Keynsham Recycling Hub.

Now she has been forced to leave her car parked on the busy A4 Bath Road in order to park near her house, but has faced abuse from other drivers. Ms Murray said: “It’s been an absolute nightmare.”

She said: “That’s the only legal place I can park because anywhere else is double yellows. They won’t let me park on the land outside my house because it's not a dropped kerb and apparently it's too close to the junction.”
