Drivers have been warned by police regarding pavement parking as part of a safety operation.

West Mercia Police's Safer Neighbourhood Team in Kempsey, near Worcester, gave warnings to at least six motorists on an estate on Friday (August 30) for what they have called "unnecessary obstruction of the highway".

The force has said that prosecution will follow if warnings are not adhered to.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: "Pavements must be clear enough to allow pedestrians, pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters to be able to pass and cars should not be parked within 10 metres of a junction."

Members of the public are able to submit digital evidence of traffic offences to police as part of 'Operation Snap'.
