Let $\Gamma $ be a $G$-vertex-transitive graph and let $(u,v)$ be an arc of $\Gamma $. It is known that if the local action $G_v^{\Gamma (v)}$ (the permutation group induced by $G_v$ on $\Gamma (v)$) is permutation isomorphic to the dihedral group of degree four, then either $|G_{uv}|$ is ‘small’ with respect to the order of $\Gamma $ or $\Gamma $is one of a family of well-understood graphs. In this paper, we generalise this result to a wider class of local actions.
