Parking on my street is so bad I’ve GIVEN UP driving

NEIGHBOURS have hit out at bad parking on their quiet street – with one even claiming she GAVE UP driving because of it.

Locals in Grantham, Lincolnshire, don’t believe that emergency services would be able to get down the road if they needed to.

Sidney Street has vehicles parked on both sides of the road and the motors ramp up in the evening when it gets busy.

One resident Carol McNulty even gave up driving when she moved to the area because parking on the one way street was so bad.

She said: “I am not sure, because the rubbish men always get down here, I’m not sure if it is a problem but in the evenings it could be difficult for a fire engine to get down here.

“When I came here I gave up driving because there was no way I was going to park on this street.”

Other locals believe that students are using the road to park, as well as those who visit the Masonic Hall.

The surrounding roads of Chambers Street and Albion Road have similar issues.

James Cook, 28, told LincolnshireLive: “It gets really busy down here.”

Rowland Ekwulugo, 83, added: “I do not use a car because I am a pensioner, but do have visitors who have a car. It is a relatively narrow road so when it is busy it can be difficult.

“People are sensible though. When the rubbish men come, they move their cars onto the pavement.”
