A car that has been left at the roadside close to an airport has been egged and wrapped in clingfilm.

The Peugeot 107 is the latest vehicle to be left at the side of the road near Bristol Airport and residents have had enough.

They left a note on the car saying ‘If you can afford a holiday you can afford parking’ and one of the car’s tyres appeared to have been deflated.

The car was spotted in New Road, Lulsgate, which is about two miles away from the airport.

However, many locals believe that people are more prepared to walk a couple of miles to the airport than pay for parking.



Sam Lakner told the Bristol Post: ‘You get it a lot where I live. People just abandon their cars down side lanes and people go out and do it.

‘I just can’t believe that people park like that. I think the residents have had enough of people doing it now.

The car was dumped nearly two miles away from the airport

‘I once saw three just abandoned not even parked on the verge so we had a whole lane blocked.’

Last August a field near Felton, around one-and-a-half miles away, had around 500 cars parked there.

In May these pictures emerged near Manchester Airport showing a car that had been vandalised with ‘no parking’ in white paint.

Police said that tyres on the cars in Lownorth Road, Wythenshawe, less than half a mile from the airport, had also been let down.

However, one of the cars that was targeted was actually owned by someone who was visiting friends in the street.

Parking has increasingly become a contentious issue in residential areas around Manchester Airport with residents saying people are using the area to leave cars for weeks on end while on holiday.

GMP Wythenshawe tweeted photos of the cars and branded the behaviour ‘unnacceptable’.

Their tweet said: ‘Cars parked on Lownorth Road have been damaged over the bank holiday weekend.

‘Having their tyres let down and “NO PARKING” painted on the side of the vehicle.

‘This behavior is completely unacceptable and we will take positive action against anyone caught causing damage.’
