Problems with dangerous and unauthorised parking at a popular country park could soon be a thing of the past after workers from a nearby Highways England improvements scheme stepped in to help
At peak times, cars are often parked by visitors along the driveway and around the entrance to Stanwick Lakes in Northamptonshire, backing up along the busy A45 creating a safety hazard.
Double yellow lines along the length of the road and at the entrance have long since faded so the Rockingham Forest Trust turned to the project team at the A45/A6 Chowns Mill roundabout improvements scheme for help.
And their plea was answered when workers from the project turned up to repaint the double yellow lines which will deter the unauthorised parking.
Materials and manpower were all donated by contractors involved with the Chowns Mill project: WJ (North) Ltd, Chevron TM, and Carnell Group.

Alyson Allfree, from Rockingham Forest Trust, said:
The work was carried out on Thursday, during National Customer Service Week. Highways England championed National Customer Service Week by running an ‘Everything you do matters’ campaign. The event celebrated the importance of customer service and the people who serve and support customers every day.
