POLICE fined a driver for parking on zig zag lines outside a school in Bournemouth.

Officers have now appealed to the public to “respect” zig zags and double yellow lines.

A spokesperson for Bournemouth Police said: “The neighbourhood police team were out at a local school last week when we had to issue a fine for parking on zig zag lines.

“This is dangerous and inconsiderate to the young children at the school, and we appeal to parents to respect the zig zags, double yellow lines and bus stops.

“Hopefully this week has been better, we will be back soon to check.”
