Photo prompts appeal against 'inconsiderate parking'

Police are once again urging against 'inconsiderate' parking on pavements around the Island.

The constabulary has shared an image of a wheelchair user on Ballanard Road in Douglas who had their route blocked by a vehicle - this meant they and their family were forced to go on the road to get past.

As a result, officers have taken to social media to remind residents it's important those with disabilities and their carers are able to get around safely without fear of having to walk on the road.

Authorities add whether you're somewhere for just a minute or hour - you shouldn't be parking on pavements at all.
