WYCOMBE residents have expressed their anger towards bad parking across town.
Residents reported cars parked on verges, illegal parking on pavements and full car parks to the council via Fix My Street.
The online website allows people to submit reports about cars obstructing highways, broken street lights, potholes, dog fouling and more.

An abandoned van was seen parked in Oakridge Road, Wycombe with a flat tyre and damaged bumber on the front.
The resident claimed the vehicle is parked in a 'very dangerous' way with 'one front wheel on the pavement' and the vehicle front all the bits.
A report was made to Buckinghamshire Council on Monday to remove the van and an officer will investigate the vehicle.
On Wednesday, August 24, a complaint was made about a van blocking the pavement and double yellow line on West Wycombe Road.
They claim the same van was blocking the pavement obstructing the view of oncoming traffic last week.
Similarly, on August 19 a report was made about a car blocking the pavement causing Elderly reisdents and women with pushchairs to walk on the road.
The council said the report has been passed to the Parking Services Team.
A warning has been issued to drivers in Wycombe to be "mindful of others when they park and to only park where it is safe and legal.”
Peter Martin, Deputy Cabinet Member for Transport at Buckinghamshire Council, said: “We sympathise with residents who are having to put up with these issues. In areas where parking restrictions are in place we are able to use our enforcement powers and will look to increase our patrols in those areas.
"If there are any patterns of abuse taking place in terms of times, days etc, these can be forwarded to us via a Contact Us form on our website and we will factor these into our patrols.
"If there is an immediate problem with obstruction of a driveway, this is a matter for the police. If a resident would like to discuss enforcement of a driveway generally, requests can be made via the Contact Us form."
