A BUS operator has issued an 'urgent' warning to motorists in a town amid obstructive parking.

Lloyds Coaches has issued the plea to people parking in Llangollen to "think before you park".

The company said it's vital that people don't park on double yellow lines or where it will obstruct the road to keep transport links "running smoothly" and to allow emergency vehicles to pass.

A Lloyds Coaches spokesperson said: "We have an urgent and serious request for all visitors and residents: Please think before you park.

"While we know finding a spot can be tricky, parking on double yellow lines or in locations that obstruct the road poses a major risk. Those lines are there for a critical reason.

"Buses need to get through to keep our transport links running smoothly.

"More importantly, the emergency services must be able to pass quickly and without delay. Seconds matter when someone's life is on the line."

They added: "Please use designated parking areas. Let's keep Llangollen safe and accessible for everyone.

"Thank you for your cooperation."
