Beeston residents have said students leaving their cars parked on the street has resulted in them 'taking their lives into their own hands'. One woman said her drive was blocked for five days, leaving her unable to drive to her ill sister.
The "irresponsible" parking has been plaguing Peveril Road and surrounding streets for years, according to residents. "When they park on the corner and on the edges of your drive you can't see when you're turning," pointed out Phil Hembury, who has lived on the street with his wife for more than 30 years.
"When I come out I take my life into my own hands. You can't see what's coming up and down. There's been about three accidents around here."
