Furious locals have put up spikes in an attempt to combat the "disgraceful" parking outside their homes. After launching a petition to call on the council to solve parking issues on Weybridge Road in Manchester earlier this month, angry residents have decided to take matters into their own hands.
It comes after United workers asked motorists to move their vehicles from a grass verge so they could carry out essential repairs to pipes. It is understood that this work did not begin as scheduled yesterday on March 30, the Manchester Evening News reports.
And residents put up a makeshift fence of wooden and metal spikes, along with red and white tape, in a bid to deter drivers parking at the side of the road. One local mum, Jaime Lightbowne, described the awful parking as "an accident waiting to happen".
