A consultation on solutions to nuisance parking in Luss has been welcomed by residents sick of motorists clogging up the village.
The picturesque Loch Lomondside village is swamped by visitors during good weather, with problem parking locally leading to 86 penalties being issued by traffic wardens in a single weekend in July.
Draft Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) aimed at managing parking and speed in and around the historic village, will be out for consultation shortly - after development work and the introduction of temporary parking at busy times showed what a sustainable solution could look like.

And that was welcomed by David Pretswell, of Luss and Arden Community Council.
He said: “This is an important milestone in achieving a real improvement in the quality of life experienced for people in the village of Luss. We look forward to continuing our close dialogue with council officers to ensure that an effective and sustainable scheme is finally approved and in place for season 2021.”

Argyll and Bute Councillor Barbara Morgan, who chaired the area committee, added: “I think we have to acknowledge that this has, at times, been a difficult process.
“That’s why I am delighted that everyone involved - community and council - has pulled together to find the best possible solution for everyone involved.
“We all understand how much we rely on tourism as one of our key industries.
“We also have to balance that against ensuring that our residents enjoy the quality of life that made them choose Argyll and Bute as the place to live and work.
“I hope this is an example of how, working together, we can make this happen.”
