Firefighters were "heavily delayed" after a motorist parked on a station's forecourt while "making a quick delivery", a fire service has said.

Crews at Slade Park Fire Station described the driver's actions on Horspath Driftway, Oxford, as "extremely inconsiderate".

They received "very strong words of advice", the fire service said.

"Unfortunately this is not the first time and we are sure this is not the last time," it added.
