Double yellow lines introduced to tackle problem parking around Dovestone Reservoir are to be made permanent.
The popular Saddleworth beauty spot is one of Oldham’s biggest attractions for visitors from outside the borough.
However day trippers flocking to the site has resulted in a parking nightmare around the reservoir as demand often outstrips the number of official parking spaces.
More than 170 drivers were slapped with fines for parking illegally at the reservoir over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
