SOME residents were looking on the bright side when flood waters advanced across Bewdley's Severnside North towards their front doorsteps.
They were the householders who have objected to the double yellow lines newly painted along the stretch of riverside road.
Resident Pat Jones said she was horrified the previous weekend when road-workers arrived to paint the lines an even deeper colour.
It had no effect because within an hour there was illegal parking again by five cars, a white van and two motorbikes.
The floodwater solved both problems, however.
"At least we can't see those dreadful yellow lines and for once there is no parking," she said.
