They posted: “More examples of bad parking around Halesowen. Please note that if you park your vehicle in this manner, blocking the footpath, then you will be receiving a fixed penalty notice.”

The police added that all pathways should have enough space for a wheelchair, a children’s pushchair or a blind person with an assistance dog to get by and all unnecessary obstructions would lead to a fine.
