Botanic Road & Bankfield Lane have been turned into a makeshift car park as thousands of people rushed to Botanic Gardens today.
The blossoming park was packed out as temperatures reached a toasty 19°c and the promise of meeting old friends through eased lockdown rules was too tempting to turn down.
Hundreds of cars were forced to park up along Bankfield Lane, an area free of double yellow lines, as families dashed to the Botanic Gardens.
One resident, who sent the above image to OTS News wrote: “This happens every single sunny day but this time I find myself far from annoyed.
“It’s delightful to see so many people able to get out and about and annoy our gorgeous gardens.
“The park is rammed and all you can hear is birdsong and children playing. It’s fantastic.”
