A man created his own parking blockade to stop parents dropping off their kids at a nearby school from parking outside his home.
Derek Woodacre has been battling parents on the school run at Mosley Common’s St John’s Primary School for years, saying 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 fight, which has been going on for almost three years. This has led to fights, vandalism, complaints and huge financial cost, according to Derek, MEN reports.
