Residents have been left “baffled” by new parking lines – including a small curved space around a corner.

Locals in Denmark Road, Bath, said they cannot even fit a car inside them.

Parking spots also cover the entrances to driveways with people fearing they will block neighbours into their homes.

White “H bars” telling people not to park are painted within parking bays, adding to the confusion..

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

Bath and North East Somerset Council said the road markings were part of a wider scheme to install road parking for local residents across the city.
