Residents in deck chairs form 'barricade' to stop school drop offs on street

This is the moment fed up residents set up a "barricade" to stop parents from parking on a residential street during the school run.

The dispute over street parking near Brynmenyn Primary School in Wales has reached boiling point following the council's decision to close the school's drop-off zone for health and safety reasons last year.

Since then, parents dropping their kids off to school say that residents have been trying to stop them from parking at Lon Derw which is an estate next to the school.

But residents there claim those parking in the street during school times have damaged cars and fences and cause a safety risk to children, as well as reportedly blocking an ambulance trying to reach a care home in the area.
