Parking could be banned around a landmark fountain in St Andrews because of the risks posed by vehicles “carrying out careless manoeuvres”.
Fife Council has acted after concerns were raised over parking near the restored Whyte-Melville Memorial Fountain.
After consulting with police, councillors and their parking management team, a ‘no waiting’ restriction has been identified as a solution to the problem in the town’s Market Square.
A council report said vehicles were “causing obstruction and carrying out careless manoeuvres risking injury to pedestrians and damage to the fountain”.
Councillor Jane Anne Liston said: “I know people were especially concerned about the fountain after all the work that has gone into it and now that risk will be significantly reduce.”
