Police have continued to tackle concerns about bad parking in Montrose.
A day of action was launched by police and 23 parking tickets were issued.
Prior to the enforcement action, 21 tickets were also issued in the previous three weeks for parking offences.
Police officers have started issuing parking tickets in Montrose following concerns raised by Liberal Democrat David May.
He called for police action on poor parking after receiving a string of correspondence from drivers and pedestrians.
The role of police traffic wardens across most of Scotland ended in February following months of consultation with councils, staff and partners.
Mr May said the removal of traffic wardens had led to more parking on double yellow lines and corners on Montrose High Street.
There were also reports of people parking in disabled bays without a blue badge being displayed.
He said: “Our local police organised a day of action on clamping down on bad parking in Montrose and were joined by a special constable and three community colleagues from the Montrose/Brechin section.
“I have been informed that during the time they were deployed in the High Street and surrounding area, 23 parking tickets were issued for road traffic offences.
“Prior to the enforcement, 21 tickets have been issued in the past three weeks for parking offences in the High Street and surrounding area and one vehicle has been seized for associated road traffic offences as a direct result of illegal parking in John Street.
“I have been told that the local police will continue to carry out enforcement and organise days of action when resources are available.
“I call on local drivers to take heed of this as illegal parking should be a thing of the past and action by the police will be taken.”
Parking enforcement in Scotland was historically delivered by traffic wardens, but the Road Traffic Act 1991 introduced provisions enabling the decriminalisation of most non-endorsable parking.
The relevant provisions of the act began in June 1997. This allowed for significant change to be made to parking enforcement in a number of council areas, and a change to the service provision by local forces.
