Linlithgow’s Local Area Committee has asked for assurances that police will continue to monitor the parking in the town’s high street before Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE) comes in.
West Lothian Council agreed last month to introduce DPE but it will take two to three years of legal and technical process to bring it in.
In the interval it is up to police to tackle wayward motorists who Councillor Sally Pattle said “ just abandon their cars” in the High Street.
