Parking in Cockermouth (Image: Cumbria Police)
CUMBRIA Police are growing concerned about parking in Cockermouth.
Officers say they are continuing to see people parking inappropriately in the town.
A police spokesperson said: "Road safety and the safety of our pedestrians will always be a priority of ours.
"Day after day, we are seeing people failing to comply with the zig-zag lines at the Zebra Crossings on Main Street, Cockermouth.
"We will continue to issue drivers with traffic offence reports under Section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, committing this offence will land you with £100 fine and 3 penalty points.
"A minute of parking or you popping to the shop can cost a life."
