A row has erupted in a quiet neighbourhood after a shopkeeper installed a metal barrier that blocks residents from using their own driveways. Locals are fuming over what they call a "selfish" move, forcing them to park elsewhere.
Residents Left Fuming
Homeowners say the barrier, erected without consultation, has made their lives a nightmare. One resident claimed, "We can't even get our cars onto our own property now. It's outrageous."
Shopkeeper Defends Decision
The business owner insists the barrier prevents illegal parking outside his shop, but neighbours argue it's gone too far. "There are better ways to handle this," said another frustrated local.
Council Steps In
The local authority has now launched an investigation into the controversial barrier. A council spokesperson stated they're "assessing the situation" and will take appropriate action.
Tempers continue to flare as both sides await a resolution to this increasingly bitter neighbourhood dispute.
