I THOUGHT that if you parked on double yellow lines it meant a fine - not so on West Road in Lancaster.

There is a white van which parks outside the probation service office every morning, meaning that cars have to pull out to get past just before a bend in the road. Then last Thursday there was a blue van and two cars as well as the 'regular' van - all on double yellow lines.

So folks, it you want a free parking space anywhere in Lancaster, it looks like West Road is the place to go. No-one will bother you.
