Wiggly lines dubbed 'Britain's most bizarre road markings' are finally set to be removed - after costing £1.5m

The wobbly lines have been slammed by locals after they appeared on the seafront in Clevedon, Somerset, in 2022.

Photos show road markings weaving around, leaving drivers and cyclists confused over where to go.

The plans, installed by North Somerset Council, were met with heavy criticism from local residents - who even staged a 'conga line' protest in fancy dress amidst widespread media ridicule of the project.

Bemused locals have been questioning the use of ‘wiggly lines’ in a controversial road scheme in Clevedon - claiming the new layout has turned the town into ‘Balamory from hell’. North Somerset Council started work on the new road layout along The Beach last autumn, with many local residents and businesses objecting to the changes. Clevedon, Somerset. 10 January 2023.

The original budget for the Clevedon Seafront scheme was £201,000 but due to unforeseen costs it ballooned to £1.5m.

The council have stated the work to remove them would begin in mid-February and was expected to be fully completed within 12 weeks.

Hannah Young, North Somerset Council's executive member for highways, told the BBC: "The updates taking place are in line with public feedback gathered over the last two years."
