A council has been ridiculed by its villagers after being forced to repaint yellow lines because its contractor's first attempt was too wonky.

Locals in the diminutive village of Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, have been in hysterics at the botched attempt to stop visitors parking irresponsibly over the summer holidays.

Some lines have been painted across residents' drives - while one appears to have painted over the section outside their property.

Other single lines can even be seen avoiding patches of dirt on the road, taking a rather unorthodox shape as they bend round them.

One man out walking his pet laughed as he said: 'They must have been p***** when they painted them.'
