Residents of an Ulverston street have been left angry after a new set of double yellow lines left them unable to park outside their own homes.
Ian Jackson said the introduction of the markings in North Lonsdale Road followed an almost three-year fight against the plans.
“There’s nowhere to park around the other streets because the other streets are all full of cars,” he said.
Cumbria County Council said the double yellow lines stemmed from concerns raised by businesses and pedestrians over vehicles parked opposite North Lonsdale Road’s junction with Canal Side.
A county council spokesman said the vehicles had been causing difficulty for vehicles entering and exiting this and surrounding junctions.
“Feedback during a subsequent consultation also indicated that parked vehicles prevented safe access of large vehicles to Canal Side,” he said.
Mr Jackson, who runs a dog grooming salon, said kerbside parking had been removed for residents at numbers 8 to 22.
“People are less likely to want to buy a house where you can’t park in front of your house,” he said. “It’s going to make your house less desirable, isn’t it.
“Where we are, the residents are not pleased, let’s put it that way. We have tried to fight against it really, we have all been angered by it, we have done what we can.
“It’s three years since it all started off before the pandemic started.”
The county council spokesman said: “The road marking works completed on Monday)were approved as a traffic regulation order at local committee [for South Lakeland] on November 25, 2021.
“There were representations for and against the proposals at that time when they went through statutory advertising and consultation in 2021, and the proposals were reduced as a result.
“The decision-making process followed by local committee is fully documented and available through the county council website.”
Ulverston East county councillor Mark Wilson said: “I think the concerns of the public were addressed through the consultation by highways officers.”
