Plans to bring in charges at a car park used by parents to pick up and drop off their children from school have received an angry reaction.

Mums, dads and carers of pupils who attend Saltburn Learning Campus have used the car park at Saltburn Leisure Centre - which is owned by Saltburn's cricket club - for years.

However Saltburn Cricket, Bowls and Tennis Club, which owns the car park, is set to introduce Parking Eye fees there within the next few weeks.

The sporting club leases the car park to Redcar and Cleveland Council's Saltburn Leisure Centre via a 125-year lease.

The car park will be fully closed all day on the 7th, 8th, and 9th November, and there will then be a partial closure on Thursday 10th November from around 7am-2pm - with some bays still available.
