A man who built a blockade across the road he lives on to stop school-run parents parking outside his house - and then dug a huge pothole - now plans to install a lake in the middle of the street. Derek Woodacer has vowed to continue with his home-made traffic management measures.
His next step will be to fill the pothole with water and turn it into a lake, despite objections. Derek, 65, said: "I have upset enough people but I just don’t care now. I don’t know where this leaves me with the neighbours now. This just makes me more determined to carry on.”
Derek says he has been battling with parents doing the school drop off at Mosley Common’s St John’s Primary School since he moved to the road five years ago as he believes they shouldn’t be parking on his street, reports MEN. Neighbours say his blockade could have prevented emergency vehicles and bin men getting through.
