Wiggly white lines have been got to add to a new tarmac exterior in West Susses, UK, as a portion of a £178,000 ($224,529) scheme to start making the town center car-free and “brighten up.” According to Ladbible, the council in Worthing, West Sussex, disclosed that the transition is part of the town’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and providing an “attractive outdoor meeting space” for residents.
The design and management fees were reportedly around £23,500 ($29,642), and the painting of the swirly lines cost £1,230 ($1,551). The unusual lines are intended to make the area car-free, allowing cafes and restaurants to have more seating areas and to feature more greenery and pleasant plants.

The scheme’s hopes of creating a “attractive outdoor meeting space” have fallen flat, with residents unimpressed and labelling the council’s efforts a “waste of money.” According to the media outlet, one resident called it a “silly design.” Another person described the wiggly lines as a “absolute mess” that looked “more like a kid has been let loose than any other.”

According to Metro, the Worthington Society Committee even requested that the white lines be removed as soon as possible. The extensive white lines, according to Chair Sue Belton, are “over-dominant” and detract from of the significant antecedents of the historic buildings.

Other residents, on the other hand, saw the irony. According to one, it was “very thoughtful of the council” to paint the lines on the ground and fool all the drunks in town into thinking they were walking in a straight line.
In contrast, a council spokesperson told local media outlet The Argus that the plans to brighten up the town were a “temporary measure” to pave the way for making the town centre car-free permanently. The council will poll residents to find out what they want to see in the long run.
