Residents are 'baffled' by new parking lines - including a small curved space around a corner.

Locals in Denmark Road say new car parking spaces are 'bendy' - and you can't even fit a car inside them.

Parking spots also cover the entrances to people's driveways - leaving people fearing they will block neighbours in their homes.

Photos of the street show how one small car parking space is 'curved' around a corner.

White “H bars” tell people not to park are painted within parking bays - which locals say is confusing.

Bath and North East Somerset Council say the road markings are part of a wider scheme to install road parking for local residents that have improved other areas of the city.

Cllr Manda Rigby, council cabinet member for transport, says the difficulty road planners are facing is that some of the residential roads are too narrow.

She told Somerset Live: “One of the issues which a zone tries to address is pavement parking particularly in narrow streets like Denmark Road.

“Specifically with Denmark Road we have talked to residents and explained how the markings work.

“The curved bay is only suitable for smaller vehicles but does provide an additional parking space and we would take a common sense approach to enforcement.''

One local said: “I’m worried I’m going to wake up and not be able to get out of my house.”
