Police ask drivers to put the brakes on inconsiderate parking
Officers posted on the Lisburn PSNI Facebook page: “It’s something we regularly get complaints about, with vehicles pretty much abandoned in all sorts of strange places.
“If there are markings telling you not to park somewhere, it’ll be for a good reason. And when it comes to double yellow lines, they also apply to the footpaths.

“Should a disabled person have to risk going on the road to get round your car just so you can park a little closer to where you’re going?
“Or will it take a £30 fixed penalty ticket to make you think?”
