A town centre in Barking, East London has become the victim of a health and safety meltdown, which has seen yellow lines painted down the high street in order to indicate where you should walk on the pavement.
The yellow line interlopers have also shown up around trees and post boxes in order to “prevent people from walking in to them.” Local, Martin Harris commented saying, “We have all managed until now to walk along the path without tripping over things in the way, so why do we suddenly need guidelines? It’s completely over the top and another sign of health and safety gone mad.” We do so enjoy seeing the government using our hard earned cash so frivolously.
