Motorists who have parked their vehicles on the pavement near to a Middlesbrough park have been told they "may get tickets".

With the warm weather over the bank holiday weekend, many people decided to get out of the house and head for our area's open spaces.

One place that saw many visitors is Stewart Park in Middlesbrough, however the park's car park remains closed as part of the restrictions imposed by Middlesbrough Council.

That lead to large numbers of motorists parking their vehicles on nearby pavements, causing issues for other road users.

Posting on Twitter, Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said that the parked cars were "not supposed to be there" and that they "may get tickets".
