Devon's bad parkers beware – you will be named and shamed.
That is the warning from a Facebook page that has been created to highlight poor parking across Devon.
Facebook site 'Parking like an idiot in Devon' has been made by a local resident who said he is fed up with the problem.
The page hopes to shame drivers who park on pavement and in front of school gates adding: "See bad parking? Take a pic and post it to shame the driver. Like and share posts to other people and hopefully promote a bit of safer parking "
The page has already gathered bad parking examples including taking up two or more spaces in carparks, parking across driveways, parking too close to other vehicles and parking too close to pedestrian crossings.
It features user-submitted photos of cars parked in multiple lanes, and the like, showcasing the best of the county's worst.
While the page is just for fun, the creator, who did not want to be named, said he hopes it does inspire people to park better.
"We were noticing so much awful parking lately which some of it was dangerous right outside schools and literally blocking bus routes and bus stops. People blocking lowered pavements which is not fair on wheelchair users." He said
Adding: "We want people who see bad parking throughout Devon to take the pics and post them to the page. And hopefully the person sees themselves on the page and hopefully won't do it again. Maybe we can get people to stop parking outside schools and in bus stops and to keep pavements clear." The page can be viewed by clicking here
