A council has apologised to anyone not able to visit Coombe Abbey Country Park last weekend after the warm weather brought out the tourists.
On Sunday, about 200 cars were ticketed as drivers parked dangerously near Coombe Abbey Country Park, blocking verges and roads.
Many families flocked to the area to enjoy the sunshine but when the car parks got full drivers started parking on nearby roads.
Coventry City Council says when the overflowing parking area became full it had to shut vehicle entry to the park.
Quote MessageWe apologise to anyone who wasn’t able to visit the park but we had to make sure that vehicles could safely enter and leave the site, especially emergency vehicles. We would advise people that the police will issue tickets if they are parking inappropriately. We are also working with Warwickshire Police to try and avoid this happening again.
Spokesman, Coventry City Council
