Markings will be inserted to restrict parking to try to address problems of cars unable to exit their parking space by other cars blocking their exit. Funding will not be available till after April for this. It should be noted that cars unable to access the off road parking space should park in another location until the access is clear. If experience problems with exiting their driveways they should contact the police.

With regard to queries about illegal parking on double yellow lines, this is dealt with by the Parking Management Team.  The contact for any such issues is Tony McRae, Lead Professional, Bankhead Central, Glenrothes, and he can be contacted by telephone on 03451 555555 ext. 444426, or by email at tony.mcrae@fife.gov.uk.
