A Seaton parish councillor has said that parked cars on two Seaton roads has now reached dangerous levels. Chairman of the parish council, Danny Horsley, said cars parked on both sides of the one-way Causeway Road are making it impossible for traffic to get through, including emergency vehicles, gritters, refuse wagons and delivery vans. In January an ambulance on an emergency call could not get past the parked cars and had to wait for residents to move their vehicles. This led to the parish council holding an emergency meeting to discuss a solution to the traffic chaos. They invited Cumbria County Council Highways to assess the situation and Highways suggested double yellow lines at the area.
