Police seize three cars parked illegally in Market Harborough residential area
Police have seized three cars that were illegally parked in a residential area in Market Harborough.
The vehicles were parked in an unrestricted parking bay on Coventry Road in the town, with police enquiries discovering that the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency had been informed that they were supposed to be off-road.
The vehicles, which Harborough District Council reported were taking up valuable parking spaces in a residential area, were seized on May 26.
Portfolio holder for neighbourhood services at Harborough District Council David Page said: “Following complaints from residents, the council worked closely with the police and three vehicles have now been removed.
“The council will not tolerate illegal parking, and vehicles parked unlawfully create safety risks and inconvenience residents and businesses.
“We are committed to enforcing parking regulations consistently, and drivers should expect appropriate action, including fines or removal of vehicles where necessary.
“We urge all motorists to park responsibly to help keep our streets safe, accessible, and fair for everyone.”
A spokesperson for Leicestershire Police added: “Officers from the Harborough and Wigston Neighbourhood Policing Area (NPA) will continue to working alongside and engaging with key partners about such matters.
"Where vehicles are found to be on the road illegally - where there is no tax or insurance in place or they have been declared off the road, vehicles will be seized."
