Dozen fined for dangerous parking by Ilkley Moor

Police officers in Ilkley issued multiple fixed penalty notices at the weekend to vehicles parked dangerously on Hangingstone Road by the Cow and Calf.

The WYP_Ilkley twitter account said: "We understand how lovely Ilkley Moor is but this weekend we have issued 12 fixed penalty notices as the parking is dangerous and puts lives at risk. Maybe consider adding 1/2 mile to your walk and parking further away".

One resident praised the police action: "The selfish attitude of some people upsets me. Thank you for doing what you can to stop this from happening".
