A council spokesman said: "Yellow lines on sections of Soresby Street and Glumangate have been removed as part of the process of creating a restricted zone for traffic in this area of Chesterfield town centre, which also includes New Square and Market Street. This is in order to prevent the issue of unregulated parking.

"Signs will be erected shortly to inform motorists that no access is permitted in this area on any day between 10am and 4pm. Blue badge holders, however, will be able to continue to park in clearly marked bays within this zone and permitted vehicles only will be able to load and unload in designated areas. Access to off street parking spaces will be maintained.

"The removal of double yellow lines is necessary to avoid confusion for motorists over the extent of the restrictions.

"The area is already subject to an enforceable prohibition of driving order which allows motorists to drive through this area to gain legitimate access - but not to stop or park unless in the designated bays."
