Ministers urged to help over cars causing road rage

THE government has been urged to step in over 'chaotic' parking blighting a suburb with supercars regularly seen dumped on pavements, yellow lines, and outside driveways.

Residents have fumed about the repeated issue of roads becoming blocked with a stream of cars in the Heald Green area of Stockport in recent months - with fights even breaking out between ignorant motorists and locals.

The flashy Lamborghinis were pictured having been parked on pavements and double-yellow lines along Finney Lane. Residents say parking is a particular problem on Fridays and weekends as well as anti-social and dangerous driving.

The council has now urged the government to step in and grant extra powers for local leaders to 'clampdown' on dangerous parking and 'ensure safer streets for everyone. Enforcement is also being stepped up in the area, along with a more visible police presence and new road markings.
