Neighbours have voiced their frustration over new parking measures that have turned a residential road into a 'racetrack'. Double yellow lines were painted in Mile End Road, next to Colwick Country Park, after complaints over "dangerous" parking at junctions surrounding the park last year.
It happened as drivers flocked to Colwick Country Park for fresh air during the ongoing lockdown, obstructing access to residents in the area. But now, many said the street has become a "nightmare" for speeding.
Wendy Judge, who is in her 80s, said: "We are not allowed to have visitors or friends coming over anymore because they have nowhere to park. We have never had double yellow lines here. It is like a racetrack now."
