Work to paint double yellow lines on roads in Keswick is set to start today.
Parking has caused an issue for the town’s back streets for several years.
Work will begin today, Wednesday, April 1, to introduce double yellow lines – which mean no waiting at any time – on several streets in the town.
The work is expected to take up to two days – although it is weather dependent – and follow a previous programme in December that had to be postponed due to extreme wet weather, Cumberland Council said.
There will be a temporary suspension of parking along sections of the affected street junctions during the installation period.
In most cases, the restrictions will extend between two and four metres on either side of each junction.
The junctions are:
- Acorn Street
- Blencathra Street
- Church Street
- Eskin Street
- George Street
- Greta Street
- Helvellyn Street
- Leonard Street
- Myers Street
- Ratcliffe Place
- Southey Street
- St Herbert Street
- Wordsworth Street
