A DUNFERMLINE resident said he and his neighbours are subjected to regular abuse from Masterton Primary School parents parking inconsiderately near his home.

Michal, who didn't want to give his second name, first raised the issue to the Press in February last year however has become increasingly frustrated at the lack of action from Fife Council and the ongoing daily battles they are facing.

Having regularly being forced to report incidents to Police Scotland, the Tarmachan Road resident is desperate for something to be done.

"The abuse is continuing still," he said. "What we did as a people here is we put signs up because it is a private road. The deeds from the Scottish Registry says the road is private.

"They provoke us and keep the cars on the road and they threaten us with police. We have been asking the council for double yellow lines but they are still ignoring us for over a year.

We had an incident three days ago then there was a woman on a disabled scooter. She couldn't pass the cars and had to go on the road and one of the parents was beeping at her but she couldn't pass. It is ridiculous.

"My wife is scared to go outside when it is the time – they park from 2pm until half three."

The resident believes the addition of double yellow lines would help however he said that despite residents and their factors requesting such measures, nothing has been done.

"The council basically show me the finger, the school slammed the door in my face, they said it was nothing to do with them," he added. "It is the school's responsibility to provide parking spaces for the parents.

"I looked out my window yesterday and I counted 23 parking spaces were free. I am not going to sell my flat because of some stupid problem."

Lesley Craig, Fife Council's traffic management lead consultant, said the council have been monitoring the parking situation at Tarmachan Road.

She added: "We'll start the statutory procedure for bringing in restrictions by taking a proposal to the City of Dunfermline Area Committee."

A spokesperson for Police Scotland confirmed they were aware of concerns in the area.

They added: "All road users have responsibility to take extra care and be considerate in their parking around schools.

“We will continue to work with our local authority partners to help address these kind of issues. In addition, community officers engage with the public as part of routine patrols and if necessary enforcement action is taken.”
