Thank you for reporting this to us.
It is not unlawful for someone to park their vehicle on the highway, and advertise it for sale, if there are no parking restrictions in place, for example yellow lines. If the vehicle is causing a dangerous obstruction to other road users, or it is untaxed or uninsured, then the police may take appropriate action.
Please note, should feel that road safety may be compromised by the regular inappropriate parking of vehicles at this location, we normally would suggest that initially you may wish to inform the owners of the offending vehicles, if known, and explain the concern that their parking is causing. If this suggestion is not practicable or proves ineffective and parking issues continue, then the best way forward would then be for you to contact Northamptonshire Police. Parking a vehicle inappropriately where it is deemed not possible for drivers to safely manoeuvre, pedestrians to pass unhindered along the footway or that access to public or private property is impeded, should be reported to Northamptonshire Police’s Safer Community Team on 101 or via the Northamptonshire Police website.
