'It's carnage': The streets where people are trapped inside their homes by 'football fans who won't walk'
A ‘nightmare’ parking issue is what the residents surrounding Leigh Sports Village Stadium expect next weekend, when Manchester United Women host Everton. Football supporters' cars were pictured parked up on kerbs, on double yellow lines, and crowding corners dangerously on streets around the ground by police recently.
“I have lived here for 22 years. I wish they hadn’t brought LSV here now, we used to have loads of fields and trees. It’s brought more problems than benefits. I’m now dreading this every weekend. We are forced to stay in as a result of this parking.” They say they are aware of the problems and are working with police and sending Civil Enforcement Officers to issue tickets to cars parked illegally. The council added that it was looking at 'how best to tackle this issue in consultation with all residents, including a possible survey... to see whether a ‘Resident Permit Parking Scheme’ may be a suitable solution', and would encourage people to park in town and leave the car at home.
“They are parking on the yellow lines and around the edge which is dangerous because they stop traffic getting through,” she added. “I have never seen so many cars during this last match. The Ledgard Avenue resident, who wanted to stay anonymous, said: “It is absolutely atrocious - the stadium holds about 8,000 people and they have car parking for 1,000. It’s open carnage and people park where they want with no consideration for residents.
A Wateredge Close resident, whose street can access LSV through a short ginnel on the south side of the complex, is also demanding residential zones. Kate Greenhalgh claimed that Leigh Cricket Club’s bonfire night event had better parking controls than the stadium on match days.
