POLICE took to social media after spotting this badly parked vehicle in the town centre last night.

Officers saw the Ford Ranger parked, obstructing part of the pavement on Bridge Street, close to the Diamonds Show Bar.

Police issued an 'Officer Seen Conditional Order' (OSCO) after seeing the vehicle, which is a reporting form which often leads to a fixed penalty.

Officers wrote on social media: "And the award for worst parking in St Helens town centre tonight goes to... you Mr Ford Ranger!"

The photo, which was posted shortly after 8pm last night, generated lots of response after it was posted on the St Helens Police Facebook page.

Amy Fishwick wrote: "Pavements are overrated anyway! Why would anyone park like this!"

Elle Mac added: "That's ridiculous!"

Is this the worst parking you have seen in St Helens?
