Man pays £600 for extra driveway to stop 'selfish' parents blocking access

Cameras have been set up to catch ‘selfish and inconsiderate’ motorists who park on double yellow lines and across driveways near a primary school. The persistent problem has even forced one local to pay out for an extra driveway to stop drivers blocking access.

At around 3pm, drivers can be seen picking up children parked on double yellow lines at a busy junction. Residents in the area say they are ‘fed up’ with people picking their kids up from school, flouting existing ‘no waiting’ restrictions and obstructing driveways, Manchester Evening News reports.

Sue Sinnott, 69, said: “It’s ridiculous. There are people coming here and parking from 2.15pm onwards just so they can get a convenient space near the school. Some of them live within easy walking distance of here. It's madness.
