A COUNCIL has hit out at “inconsiderate” parkers after it issued more than 30 fines to cars parked around a family fun day.

- BY BEN HASLAM

Sefton Council said it issued 38 parking charges to vehicles near Botanic Gardens in Southport while people enjoyed a family fun day.

People gathered in the park in the north of the town to celebrate its 150th birthday with stalls and activities for children set up throughout the grounds.

Despite hundreds enjoying the day at the park, a car was unable to leave due to illegal parking blocking them in.
