A man who decided to take the law into his own hands to deter parents on the school run from parking on his street, has vowed to continue his battle - despite his homemade blockade being removed.
Derek Woodacer has been at odds with local parents and neighbours for the past three years as he believes locals should not be using his street to drop children at the near-by Mosley Common’s St John’s Primary School.
The 65-year-old said that since the road is unadopted by the council, meaning it is up to residents to pay for repairs, it should not be used for pick up or drop off. This has lead to "fights, vandalism, complaints and huge financial cost".
