Fake “residents only” parking signs popped up on Scholes Walk, Prestwich. No one knows who installed them.
People think residents are tired of no parking spots and might have put them up to stop other drivers. The council says anyone can park on the street and wants the prankster to remove the signs ASAP.
The council says the signs aren’t official at all. Someone used tie wraps to attach the signs high up, probably needing a ladder! People on Scholes Walk don’t know who did it.
A man named Francis noticed the signs right away, knowing they were fake. He joked someone was playing a trick, finding the situation amusing, while understanding the parking frustration a bit.
A young resident sees more cars due to area changes, saying Prestwich is becoming more popular and people from other areas are moving there, often owning multiple cars.
She mentioned resident parking during Parklife, noting it helps then with limited parking. Maybe the sign person wants that all the time, while an older man agreed parking is tough and he would want a real parking plan too.
