A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman said: "Parking in an inconsiderate manner makes it difficult for local residents and can also, in some cases, prevent emergency vehicles being able to access particular roads. When seconds are vital, this can be very dangerous."

Simon de Senlis Primary School's headteacher did not wish to comment on the situation.
