A spokesman for Blackburn with Darwen Council said: "Unfortunately people who have parked their vehicles on the car park are currently unable to access the multi-storey or remove their cars.

"Parking staff are on hand to inform car park users of the situation and it is anticipated that people will be able to collect their cars when the incident is resolved.

"There will be no charge for parking for today for these car park users."
