A car dealer received a verbal warning after he parked a 4x4 on a traffic island in an attempt to sell the vehicle.

Medway Council intervened and gave the unnamed independent trader a warning. The council said: "Attempting to sell a vehicle in this way counts as street trading and is illegal in Medway under the Medway Council Act 2004. The legislation applies to any vehicle advertised for sale on the highway in Medway.
