A man who put an ‘awful’ blockade on the road in front of his house is now scheming new ways to deter people from parking on his street after his homemade measures were removed. Derek Woodacre has been battling with parents doing the school drop off at Mosley Common’s St John’s Primary School for years as he believes they shouldn’t be parking on his street.
The 65-year-old has even been in conflict with his own neighbours over this issue, with one saying the blockade could have prevented emergency vehicles and bin men getting through. Derek has become notorious on Commonside Road as a result of this battle that has been going on for almost three years.
This has led to fights, vandalism, complaints and huge financial cost, according to Derek.
