Gritters were unable to get through a Peak District road due to 200 cars doubled parked on it, a council has complained.
Derbyshire has been covered in ice and snow in recent days, as temperatures around the UK have plummeted.
But the council said that double parking blocked gritters from accessing a road that led to Edale, the entrance to the picturesque Pennine Way walking route.
In a post on X, the council urged motorists to move their cars and said a bus or fire engine would not be able to get past.
“We have issues with cars double parked on Rushup Edge and Man Nick on the road down to Edale,” the council said.
“Our gritters cannot get through with around 200 cars in the area. Please move your car if you are in the area. If we can’t get through neither would a bus or fire engine.”
