Police issue warning about problem parking at another North Leeds beauty hotspot

"Much-requested" parking patrols were carried out on East Chevin Road in Otley on January 17.

The West Yorkshire Police Leeds North West Neighbourhood Policing Team found that 14 vehicles were parked obstructively at the hotspot on this day.

The vehicles were parked in a way that could "obstruct the flow of traffic or view of other drivers and/ or pedestrians".

Police are pleading with the public to make use of public carparks when visiting Otley Chevin, and to review parking to ensure it will not cause any sort of obstruction.

This comes after police received "inconsiderate and dangerous" parking complaints at a different hotspot in North Leeds just last week.

Police have also warned about dangerous parking at a Leeds nature reserve recently.

The warnings come after the introduction of the third national lockdown.

Matt Hancock was pressed at a Downing Street press conference about whether people should exercise seven miles from their home during the lockdown.

The Health Secretary said: “Yes, you can go and exercise in the park with one other person, but only one other person.
