A Stockport woman has hit out at the council, saying she feels 'persecuted' after they painted double yellow lines on 'historic' cobblestones outside her house.
Amanda Massey, 54, said the cobbles are 'hundreds of years old' and would be 'polished up to an inch of their lives' if they were in the historic cities of Chester or York. She has criticised the council for preventing herself and other residents from parking on the street, saying she is 'adding to emissions' by drving around looking for a parking space.
She also claims that emergency service vehicles are still able to get down the street with cars parked on both sides. Stockport Council said the restrictions are in place for 'safety', but an investigation into their purpose is ongoing.
