In a statement, police said: “It is clear that the shear number of vehicles has meant that some have parked in a inconsiderate manner.

“Following on from this we will be embarking on a period of advice and education to hopefully dissuade drivers from leaving vehicles in dangerous and sometimes illegal positions. Following on from this we will be issuing fixed penalty notices to vehicles that we find parked illegally.

“Remember, before parking make sure you are aware of any parking restrictions, don't park anywhere you would prevent access for emergency services or opposite or within 10 metres of a junction, except in an authorised parking space.

“Also make sure you avoid obstructing the access to properties.”
