"A total of four FPNs for parking and obstruction offences were issued across the two-day operation on Friday and Saturday, and a number of other drivers were spoken to in relation to their parking. 

"Officers plan to conduct further operations at the location in the future and would like to take this opportunity to remind members of the public that Ebenezer Street is now a two-way street and forms a key part of the city centres bus routes, and therefore it is important that it is kept clear for this purpose."
