Vaccine traffic causes parking restrictions on Knaresborough's Chain Lane
Vehicles look set to be prevented from parking on a stretch of Chain Lane in Knaresborough following an increase in traffic travelling to the vaccination centre.
Chain Lane is a busy road in a residential area that also operates as a bus route.
It has been the site of Knaresborough's biggest vaccine centre at Chain Lane Community Hub, run by Homecare Pharmacy, since September.
North Yorkshire County Council has proposed an order to stop traffic parking from January 17 after it found vehicles parking on the road were causing a danger to the public.
The parking restriction will cover the section of Chain Lane from Princess Terrace, near the bus stop, past the community hub and down to the turning for Eastfield.
The council's notice said:

The temporary order is expected to be in place until July 16, 2023. But the council added if the vaccination centre closed before then, the order would be lifted.
Staff at the vaccination centre said they were unaware of the move.
Steve Cullerton, operations director, said:
The county council said signs will be put up to indicate the length of the restriction and where it is in place.
