From angry notes to appalling attacks - the parking rows which exploded on Greater Manchester's streets
Parking can be a sore point at times. There’s either someone parked in your space, someone blocking you in or just nowhere to park at all.
The man confirmed he had, to which Vance stated: “Won’t be able to park there for much longer.” His neighbour said that the parking was for residents, only to be met with an angry reaction. Vance, of St Helier Square, Burnage, was handed four months imprisonment which was suspended for 12 months, along with 120 hours unpaid work and 10 days of rehabilitation activity requirement days at a hearing in October. He pleaded guilty to assault by beating of his neighbour, and five offences of assaulting an emergency worker.
"It's like 'why?' We have not done anything to anybody. It's just really over the top and unnecessary. They could have spoken to people about the parking, it's not a big deal. Even just a note on the windscreen, the problem could have been fixed. "People have been getting really upset with the amount of cars parked on this road," the 36-year-old said.
Ellie Newman, 36, who lives in Whitefield and sister Jordana Timeyin, 39, who lives in Prestwich , park their vehicles on a street close to where they work in Whitefield.But the pair, who both work at loan agency Bridgewater Acceptances, said they have had notes left on their windscreens on several occasions, including ones stuck on the glass with glue.
"Our offices have been there for 20 years. This has happened about four times. We have had our car scratched and around four notes left, stuck on with super glue, gaffer tape and now silicone. This is criminal damage." The following day, she returned to her car to find a note attached to the windscreen reading “DO NOT PARK HERE”. The vehicle was covered in filth and the left wing mirror had been cracked.
“I had lots to carry from my car from work so I parked where no one was parked down a back of house ginnel. I asked someone pulling up if anyone parks here and she said no, this is a public car park for anyone to use. While Hannah didn’t report the incident to police, she says the incident has made her more wary of where she parks in the village.
During the incident Marshall, 41, who was reportedly drunk at 9am, was waving her arms about and shouting: ''Who do you think you are talking to?’' before squirting the mystery substance from a plastic bottle over the victim's face, hands and clothing.
