Andy McGarvey says he has spent two years asking for authorities to crackdown on problem parking along Lords Walk.

He says the patch of land, just a short walk from the Preston Bus Station car park and numerous private car parks, is being parked on illegally each day.

Mr McGarvey said: "I've reported it to the county council and to the city council. They both seem to say it is the other ones responsibility to do something about it.
