New wardens have issued almost 750 parking tickets to motorists in the first week of a crackdown in Leicester.

The authority has taken on 30 new traffic wardens who are targeting cars parked on single and double yellow lines, in disabled bays and bus stops.

Motorists who are caught parking illegally have been warned that they will face a �60 fine.

The new wardens wear a distinctive maroon-coloured uniform.
