A North Yorkshire mum has hit out at drivers who block pavements, meaning people in wheelchairs or those with pushchairs have to walk in the road.

Hannah Rushforth, who is from Ripon, took the picture showing a vehicle parked entirely blocking a pavement.

She wrote on Facebook: "This is quite frankly disgusting parking.

"If you are the owner of this vehicle, please have some courtesy to, well, everyone.

"If you have no option to park on a pavement, at least have the courtesy to leave enough room for a wheelchair (or pushchair, or simply a person) to pass."

Hannah added she hoped people would be mindful of others and give pedestrians space, especially those in wheelchairs who could find it difficult to go around the van.
