Police have spoken out after complaints about vehicles parked on roads while being advertised for sale in Morecambe.
This was after several complaints from residents reporting individuals were parking several cars along stretches of road, particularly on Marine Road and Regent Road.
Police said the road was being used as "their own sales forecourt" and prevented residents from "being able to park along the road to use local amenities".
A Morecambe Area Police spokesperson said: "You can legally place a car for sale on a public road if it’s a single private sale (not part of a business), the car is taxed and insured, and it’s not causing an obstruction or parked dangerously.
"(You can't) park two or more vehicles on a road advertised as for sale, within 500 metres of each other (Under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005), or park a car in a way that causes an obstruction."
"Please be considerate of other road users and the local community before placing a vehicle up for sale. Police and partner agencies are working closely together to ensure that concerns raised of this nature are addressed."
