Neighbours on a narrow Gedling street have welcomed upcoming parking restrictions, claiming they will make a "big difference" to parking frustrations. Nottinghamshire County Council announced it would put single yellow lines along Wood Lane and double yellow lines at the Junction of Wood Lane and Yew Tree Lane.
It came after consistent complaints from residents about parking restricting visibility and movement in the area, largely caused by visitors to Carlton-le-Willows Academy and Gedling Woods. Dianne Moore, a 59-year-old carer who lives in Wood Lane, said she tried to avoid navigating the junction near the woods.
"Although the woods and meadows are for everybody, when people come here they park wherever, some on both sides of this lane," she said. "I moved here four years ago and it's been going on since then. I've had to tell people 'that's my garden you're parked on'.
