Day-Lewis, 67, and his 65-year-old co-star Bean have been reportedly seen around the north-west of England in recent days, including on location in Warrington.
It is not known if the pair were in Handbridge – which appeared to be doubling for a location in Sheffield – when the traffic wardens struck.
Handbridge ward councillor Matt Carter posted on the local Handbridge Life Facebook group to say he had spoken to the council about the filming and had been told that the authority’s highways department had not approved it.
Carter also said he had been told an application for a full road closure had not been approved.
