Man who blockaded road now plans to turn pothole into a lake

A man who built a blockade on his road to stop parents on the school run now plans to turn a pothole into a lake.

Derek Woodacer has irritated his neighbours with his schemes and improvised road blocks, but he says their reactions make him "'more determined to carry on". Derek's battle saw him create a blockade to stop parents from being able to park outside his home when they drop their children off at a nearby school.

The 65-year-old, from Mosley Common in Tyldesley, Wigan, has been in conflict with those on the school run to St John’s Primary School since he moved to the area. He doesn't believe parents should be parking on his road.
