Alan Richardson, 82, has told how he has been forced to spend hundreds to allow him to be able to leave his home which sits near Cadishead Primary School in Manchester.
A pensioner has forked out £600 for a new driveway after being blocked from his home by parents parking on double yellow lines while picking their children up from school.
Richardson says that many of his neighbours have also been forced to convert their gardens into driveways due to the 'crazy' school run making access more and more difficult. He told Manchester Evening News: “There are times when I just can’t get off my drive, there are that many cars around.Valerie Greenhalgh, who lives opposite the school, added: “It’s crazy how some people park.
“You can see the line of cars stretching all the way down Moss Side road, some of them parking across people’s driveways.” But she added the extra restrictions would also cause a headache for local residents, some of whom have two or three cars per household and already struggle for spaces to park. Additional measures such as double yellow lines and cameras have now been set up to deter "selfish and inconsiderate" motorists.
