Further to Mrs Philpotts’s letter (Have Your Say, May 15) in which she questioned the reason for the yellow lines outside Tesco Express by the Northbourne roundabout, they were put down to ensure that delivery lorries use the service area at the rear of the store.
This was done to prevent lorries parking on Wimborne Road where their size would have blocked off visibility of drivers leaving the car park.
Bournemouth council plans to repaint the lines next week as part of our Road Rescue initiative.
In relation to enforcement, the area is visited regularly by parking attendants who will continue to monitor the situation.
Apart from being a pain for other road users, drivers caught parking illegally risk a fixed penalty notice.
Cllr Stephen MacLoughlin, leader, Bournemouth council
