Visitors to the Lake District are being urged to park 'considerately' this Bank Holiday weekend.

A plea was put out by Cumbria Fire & Rescue Service this morning (August 24) on its Facebook page. 

Bank Holiday weekends are some of the busiest times for Cumbria's road network, particularly in the most attractive Lake District locations as tourists drive into the area.

The post said: "If you're visiting the Lake District or other busy destinations this Bank Holiday Weekend, please park considerately and in a way that would allow our vehicles to get through in an emergency."
