Selfish parking has driven me to despair

Wheelchair user tells of 'disgust'

- CHARLOTTE HALL

A WHEELCHAIR user says parts of his hometown have become no-go zones thanks to inconsiderate drivers who ignore yellow lines and block pavements.

Terry Fleming, 65, now 'avoids' using Union Street in Oldham notorious for its antisocial parking - out of fear of getting stuck.

Describing the situation as a 'nightmare, he says the road has been a 'problem area' for years.

Despite being marked by double yellow lines and visible tram tracks, cars often mount the kerb and park along or even on the pavement during the afternoon and evening.
