"On the occasion reported a visually impaired person had to move out on to the road with their guide dog to manoeuvre around the parked vehicles.

"This would be the same for anyone pushing a pram or wheelchair users.

"Please do not block footpaths when parking your vehicle, there are numerous public car parks in Lisburn that could be used instead," added police.
