Shop front repeatedly smashed as out-of-control cars roll downhill from nearby Co-op

A business owner is distraught after having to rebuild the front of her shop four times - as out-of-control cars keep rolling downhill from a nearby Co-Op car park and smashing her shop. Interior designer Anita De-Vine has had her shop front smashed four times after cars parked in the nearby car park had their handbrakes fail.

The most recent was earlier this month - which saw Anita's shop window smashed in as a result. Anita, who has run Baildon Interiors in Baildon, West Yorkshire, for the past 22 years, said not only is it frustrating, but "only a matter of time before someone is hurt".

She has contacted Co-op to encourage them to remove the three spaces, which sit directly at the top of the slope, in line with her shop front. The company has added a sign encouraging people using the car park to ensure they apply their handbrake firmly, but Anita believes more needs to be done.
