Woman says school run parents block driveway and swear at her when she asks them to move

A homeowner has spoken out about the abuse she has received from parents who block her driveway while dropping off and picking up kids at school. Laura Ali, 31, said she's been told to 'shut up you slag' and 'f*** off' in the past when she's approached school run drivers asking them to move their cars from outside her home.

Mrs Ali who lives nearby two schools in Ardwick said one angry driver threatened to smash her windows in after they stopped her from being able to take her own kids to school, the Manchester Evening News reports. Homeowners on Langport Avenue have been dealing with the problem for years as motorists park on pavements, junctions and even leave their cars in the middle of the road.

In 2019, disgruntled locals protested outside Dean Trust Ardwick secondary school and St Luke's CE primary school over the 'ridiculous' parking situation as parents doing the school runs blocked them in their houses. However, neighbours confirmed the situation is still very much a problem.
