Police issued 15 fines to motorists as part of a crackdown on driving in the city centre pedestrianised zone.

Fourteen of the £50 fines were given to people driving through restricted areas of the city, and one to a driver not wearing a seatbelt.

Lancaster Neighbourhood Police team, supported by a team of Special Constables, carried out the operation on Friday evening.

No vehicles can enter the pedestrian area unless they have a disabled Blue Badge and are looking for a parking space, or loading/unloading between 5pm and 10am only.
