A frustrated resident has called for parking permits to be introduced in a Nottingham area likened to the 'Wild West'. Michael Holyk, 34, moved to Marshall Street, Sherwood, more than two years ago, but says his everyday life has been blighted by a worsening parking problem.
The filmmaker said the lack of parking restrictions on the street had caused fights between angry motorists, attracted "rowdy" drinkers picking up their cars after a trip to the pub, and contributed to antisocial behaviour. "There's this little sliver in Sherwood that is like the Wild West. When I moved and was renovating my house I had loads of deliveries and the amount of things that kicked off showed this area had been ignored," Mr Holyk said.
"When I was renovating I had to break up a fistfight between someone who had blocked the road doing deliveries and someone who wanted to get out, and that was in the first few weeks of living here. It's always rowdy when people go to their cars at the end of a night after Wetherspoons and it's a hotspot for Uber drivers and deliveries, so it's hard to park near if you live here.
