An 'experimental' ban on overnight parking in East Lothian's coastal car parks has been given the go ahead in a bid to crackdown on partying visitors.
East Lothian Council's Labour administration cabinet today (Tuesday) approved plans to trial a parking ban at 20 sites including one tiny three space car park at Musselburgh which has been listed on a website as ideal for overnight stays.
The decision means the council will apply for a temporary traffic regulation barring vehicles from parking in its ten beach car parks where people are charged a daily rate of £2.50 to park up as well as a further ten free car parks identified as unsuitable for overnight stays.
