With the introduction of a new cycle path around Melville Street, locals spotted a tiny double yellow line on Manor Place, a nod to the areas' former layout.

North Somerset Council says the unusual lines are part of the design and aimed at making the road feel narrower and slow down traffic. Residents say the new layout is 'bonkers'.
