'We've finally got our street back from selfish Airport drivers - but who knows what it will be like in summer?'
Residents on an estate next to Manchester Airport have spoken of their relief as double yellow lines, residents' parking permits, traffic wardens and the winter months have all helped them to reclaim their street.
But, a cocktail of measures put in place to ease the situation in this part of Wythenshawe appears to be working - along with the passing of peak flying season.On a freezing cold winter's day in December, there are no blocked driveways, the 'residents only' bays are empty of even residents' cars, and the streets are pin drop quiet - that is, until the roar of an aeroplane thunders overhead.
NHS worker Maria Faulkner, who works in Wythenshawe Hospital, has lived on the estate for eight years in her former granddad's house. She says planes 'kept him company', and she didn't mind the plane spotters so much. Marylin Ivanova, 31, a stay-at-home mum to an 11-month-old baby, has lived on Shadowmoss Road for eight years, and credits residents parking permits with making a 'really bad' situation 'a lot better'.
