Council bosses have vowed to repaint road markings in an East Yorkshire town – after they were made too narrow for cars to park in.
Workmen painted the parallel parking spaces in Pasture Road, Goole, 1.7m wide as part of a £265,000 re-surfacing scheme.
But East Riding of Yorkshire Council chiefs had requested a width of 2m for the road.
According to the British Parking Association, there’s a minimum width of 1.8m for on-street parallel parking.
Some motorists even resorted to parking on the kerb to make sure their vehicles were within the spaces.
The town's mayor Anthony Raspin called for the freshly marked parking spaces to be resized after residents complained about the size of the spaces.
Workmen will now have to burn off the markings and repaint them, forcing another road closure today (Wednesday, November 27).
Andie Appleyard, who works in Pasture Road, said: "I think it just sums Goole up and everything they do at the moment. They never do it correctly, it's all a bit of a rush job.
