Extra free car parking space is being made available to help cope with demand at Colwick Country Park, which has seen visitor numbers surge during lockdown.
The extra spaces have been introduced to help avoid problems on Mile End Road, with those visiting the attraction parking outside houses and blocking access for residents.
The parking space off Daleside Road East will be open at peak time and can be found next to the starting gate – not to be confused with the public house.
Neighbourhood Wardens will also be patrolling the area to ensure people aren’t parking and obstructing access. They’ll also be advising those parking on Mile End Lane about the new parking space.
Yellow lines will also soon be put into place to help ease the problem.
Councillor Nikki Brooks revealed the news on her Facebook page. She said: “Hopefully this will help ease the terrible problem for residents.”
I hope councillor Brooks will help many residents in roads around Carlton Le Willows Academy who also have their drives blocked & engines running by inconsiderate parents picking up their children. Abusive language is used by these parents to residents when asked to turn their engines off or move up a bit so they can park outside their own
Property.
