Work to remove wiggly road markings that sparked controversy in a seaside town has been completed.

North Somerset Council caused outrage in Clevedon when it introduced the changes, which included the removal of sea-facing parking, along the waterfront in 2022. RAC previously described the lines as one of the “most bizarre” road schemes it had seen.

It originally cost about £1m and a further £425,000 was spent on the reversal, but the council said the move was “in line with significant public feedback” from businesses and residents.

Councillor Hannah Young, cabinet member for highways, said: “We have listened to the local community and reinstated sea-facing parking.”

Work to remove the markings started in February and also included creating new loading bays, a single contraflow cycle path, a mini roundabout, a pedestrian crossings and vehicular access to the promenade for boats and ice cream vans.

New planters will be added to the area and the community will be consulted on the plans.
