Derbyshire: So, the police had to shut down some roads in the Peak District because of terrible parking. It happened on Sunday afternoon, and they were not happy about it.
Winnats Pass and Rushup Edge, near Castleton, were the main spots affected. The police warned that cars parked dangerously would be towed, and the owners could face fines.
If you were planning to visit Winnats Pass, the police suggested finding another place to go. They really emphasized the need to park properly wherever you end up.
Hope Valley police mentioned that 21 drivers who parked on the clearway through Winnats Pass on Saturday would be facing prosecution. Yikes!
A spokesperson from Derbyshire Police pointed out that this kind of parking isn’t just annoying; it can block emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks. That’s serious stuff!
They urged anyone heading to Winnats Pass to think twice and park responsibly. If you can’t find a spot, don’t just leave your car anywhere. Your selfish parking could really impact someone’s chance of getting life-saving help.
