He researched what action had been taken elsewhere to combat this problem and discovered that gummed labels were available to place on the windows of offending vehicles. Cllr Wright said "Often there are no police or traffic wardens around to move vehicles on and this seems to me to be a low-level response appealing to drivers to behave more considerately in future."
