A NEW parking scheme is being introduced in the Borough Road area of Darlington from Monday May 19.

Around 102 spaces will be reserved for residents who have a permit.

The streets affected are Borough Road, Middleton Street, Sanderson Street, Melland Street, Hilda Street, Haughton Road, Russell Street and Lodge Street.

Parts of the streets will also be designated for two-hour waiting for residents' visitors and the customers of local businesses.

There will be other waiting restrictions to improve road safety and prevent obstructive parking.

David Lyonette, Darlington Borough Council's cabinet member for transport said: "This scheme has been introduced in response to problems experienced by residents in an area which is often used as long stay parking by people working in the town centre and those attending Darlington College."
