Police crackdown on dangerous parking as trial begins

There will be increased police presence in a village to crack down on dangerous parking as a new traffic trial gets under way.

A temporary traffic management scheme has started in Bibury, which sees coach parking bays temporarily replaced with bus stops, giving coaches ten minutes to pick up and drop off passengers.

Lisa Spivey, the leader of Gloucestershire County Council, said the trial was implemented following "complete chaos" over recent bank holiday weekends.

But Jason Edwards of the Coach Tourism Association said it was "short-sighted" and may deter coach drivers from visiting.
