A pensioner was left trapped in her home by cars parked just inches away from her front gate. A parking bay, coupled with a lack of pavement outside Carol Tabere's home in Withington, Manchester, regularly left her unable to leave her property.
The 75-year-old was left frustrated every time a vehicle parked in the space, meaning she couldn't leave her Hill Street home to walk her dog or pop to the shops, the Manchester Evening News reported. Carol has lived in her home for 31 years and her son feared that if there was an emergency, paramedics wouldn't be able to get to her if a vehicle was parked there.
The pensioner would regularly leave notes on drivers' windscreens asking them politely not to park there - but she has been abused by some drivers, with one even calling her an "old b****". Carol said the situation has been a "nightmare" for her.
