On Sunday, about 200 cars were ticketed as drivers parked dangerously near Coombe Abbey Country Park, blocking verges and roads.

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
