A crackdown is taking place on "inconsiderate" parkers in one area of Carlisle.

Cumbria County Council is warning motorists that parking wardens will be out and about more often in Denton Holme in the coming weeks.

It follows a recent consultation regarding parking in Carlisle’s Zone D (Denton Holme), which has led to a number of changes to parking availability in the zone.

The changes also follow concerns raised by residents that had previously been brought forward by the late Councillor Hugh McDevitt.

A spokesman for the council said: "The public are advised that parking enforcement teams will be visiting the area more frequently in the coming weeks to ensure the changes are being observed.

"One of the most significant changes is the loading and unloading area near the junction of Denton Street and Nelson Street.

"The council would like to remind local residents and visitors to Denton Holme to observe the changes to the parking restrictions and to familiarise themselves with any signage or road markings."

Councillor Karen Lockney, local member for Denton Holme, added: “The residents of Denton Holme have put up with inconsiderate parking on Denton Street for several years.

"Thanks to the work of Mr McDevitt, the recent changes to the parking restrictions in Denton Holme and news of increased enforcement patrols will help us tackle this issue.”
