A CRACKDOWN is looming for motorists who park on verges and footpaths in North East Lincolnshire.
Starting on Monday September 28, the council's parking enforcement officers will target four villages - New Waltham, Healing, Barnoldby-le-Beck and Humberston.
According to portfolio for environment and transport Cllr Stewart Swinburn, unlawful parking is "allowing these villages to lose their character and appeal".
He continues: “Parking on grass verges causes unnecessary damage and increases our costs of maintaining them
"The practice also causes an obstruction for pedestrians."
Signs have been installed on entry and exit of the verge parking enforcement zones.
There will also be regular repeater signing to remind drivers of the restriction.
Those caught disobeying the regulations face on-the spot fines, though no details have been released about how severe these might be.
