Ten drivers in Keighley town centre received traffic offence reports for parking on zig-zag markings.

Ten drivers have received traffic offence reports for parking on zig-zag markings at the bottom of Cavendish Street in Keighley town centre. Keighley Neighbourhood Policing Team issued the reports during foot patrols focused on vehicles stopping or parking in the area.

West Yorkshire Police said the enforcement action resulted from two shifts of increased attention to the location. A spokesperson said: 'As part of our patrols, we have been paying particular attention to cars stopping or parking on the zig-zag markings at the bottom of Cavendish Street.'

Many of the drivers offered explanations for their parking. The police said drivers claimed they were 'just waiting for a mate', 'just finished work', or told officers that the nearby double yellow lines were full and they had no alternative.
