But the introduction of a parking ban along Seaway Avenue in Christchurch, Dorset, has sparked a row between residents and tourists. Only a single yellow line was in place previouslyCredit: BNPS The new restrictions will force visitors to use the pay and display car parkCredit: BNPS Locals said prior to the decision, the road was "rammed" with cars - preventing elderly residents from leaving their homes during the day. A single yellow line was in place to stop street parking on the road during the summer months, but there are no restrictions in the winter. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has now listened to disgruntled residents and decided to introduce no parking zones all year round with double yellow lines. The new restrictions will force visitors to the popular beach to use the nearby paid car park. Barry Froude has lived on the street for years and was pleased something was finally being done about the chaotic street parking. He said he never understood why the single yellow line was used during winter when the street would still be blocked with other cars. Mr Froude said: "During winter we still had lots of people turning up and blocking people's drives. "There is a car park but nobody uses it during winter because they don't have to. "It was stupid but finally something has been done about it." Another resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "It's been an absolute nightmare, I have been taking my life in my hands every time I pull out of my drive. "The road is so full of cars that you can't see what is coming until you've pulled all the way out of your drive. "I've had to emergency stop several times in the last few months, I'm glad this nightmare is over." But the new parking ban has shocked some regular beachgoers. Joanne Brown said: "I can understand that during summer residents need parking restrictions along their street){kind=link}
