People living on a Gedling road where yellow lines were recently painted say they thought it was a "prank" when they saw the finished work. Parking issues along Wood Lane have long been raised with Nottinghamshire County Council, with drivers previously parking near the entrance to Gedling House Woods and parents using the road for the Carlton Le Willows Academy and Daises Day Nursery.
It was revealed last year that the county council were considering painting double yellow lines along the road to try and resolve the issue, with a consultation on the matter having taken place. Both double and single yellow lines have now appeared along parts of the road, with the work reportedly taking place earlier this week, but local residents say they can't believe how "shabby" it looks.
Kieran Kelly, 70, who lives just off Wood Lane, said: "It's a poor job for people who pay quite a lot of council tax. Yellow lines have been on the cards for some time and now they're here, it looks like they need doing again.
