Police in Derbyshire have seized 21 vehicles for "dangerous and inconsiderate" parking over the bank holiday weekend in the High Peak area.

Police said several beauty spots had been "swarmed" with poor parking.

The force added this had caused "danger" to road users, as well as emergency services which the police said would have been unable to get through if needed.

Officers advised people visiting the area to plan ahead before travelling and identify appropriate, designated car parks.
