Police have warned drivers ‘pavements are for pedestrians’ after issuing a £50 fine.

South Lakes Police shared a photograph of a car parked on the pavement in Low Newton. 

The post reminded drivers that ‘pavements are for pedestrians’ and that there are consequences for obstructing the dedicated walking space.

Police said there was no room for a wheelchair or pushchair and asked drivers to ‘please be more considerate’.

The driver received a £50 fine for parking their vehicle on the side of the road.
