Southampton City Council are looking to slather double yellow lines on almost 20 roads across the city.
The Minor Traffic Regulation Schemes Order 2024 is a proposal to introduce “no waiting at any time” restrictions on 19 streets.
It comes after a pub landlord said that the introduction of double yellow lines outside his pub would "really hurt".
Connor Miles, who took over Woodies at the Junction Inn last November, said: “It just feels like there’s been no thought to it, it’s like someone came along with a tick box and decided the lines would go here.
“We get a lot of families coming from Bitterne Triangle and Highfield but we’re quite out the way as it is.
“It’s only a 20 minute walk, but not being able to drive down will really put people off coming.”
A consultation is now running on the proposed yellow lines at transport.southampton.gov.uk.
It closes today.
