obstruction

Vehicles parked on a footpath that are causing an obstruction can be dealt with by police, according to the NI Direct website.

But prosecutors said the information wasn't protected due to Mr Combs's alleged actions, which could be considered obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Wiltshire Police is urging residents to only call 999 in an emergency, and is signposting those who wish to report obstructions and debris on roads to local authorities or National Highways.

However, Mr Combs' lawyers have argued that Ms Harper's statement was "the furthest thing from witness obstruction I can think of", and was just "two witnesses having divergent recollections of similar events".

In response, prosecutors argued that the request for bail should be denied, alleging that Mr Combs "poses serious risks of danger and obstruction of these proceedings".
