A pensioner said she was left 'trapped' in her home as parked cars would block her gate. Carol Tabere, 75, said a parking bay meant vehicles would be left inches away from her front gate in Withington, meaning she had no way to get past.
A lack of pavement outside her home meant the cars prevented her from leaving the premises on Hill Street to walk her dog or go to the shops.
Carol said the parking space has now been painted over with double yellow lines, after she complained to Manchester City Council. The space was among other bays that had been introduced as part of the Christie Parking Scheme.
