Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is asking people not to use block dropped kerbs when parking on streets.
This has become a problem of late, particularly during busy periods in towns popular with visitors such as Saltburn. With a sunny weekend ahead and the start of the school holidays looming, drivers are reminded not to leave their vehicles like this.
“Dropped kerbs exist primarily for accessibility reasons," says Councillor Julie Craig, Cabinet Member for Highways, Neighbourhoods and Transport. “When drivers park across them, they are causing difficulties for people using wheelchairs, pushchairs or with other mobility issues when they attempt to cross roads.
“For this reason, a Penalty Charge Notice will be issued in instances where cars have been left like this.
