Police in Leeds have issued dozens of parking tickets following complaints from residents.

On Tuesday last week (February 21), Gipton and Harehills Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted patrols alongside Leeds City Council’s parking services and issued 39 tickets following complaints of pavement parking and parking on double yellow lines.

The patrols were focussed on Cherry Row and Dolly Lane in Burmantofts, Florence Street in Harehills and Mabgate in the City Centre.
