The authority has now promised to take action to tackle the issue.

Ms Addison claimed it has been a problem for years and has gotten worse in recent weeks while council staff carried out improvements to railings and street furniture in the area.

She previously described staff who park illegally as "ignorant."

"They need to have regular patrols there."
