In Newcastle, tensions rise as cars used by carers are vandalized. Residents are urged to leave polite notes instead of resorting to threats.
Police have stepped in to help. They’re advising folks in the area to leave polite notes if they think a car is blocking their way. It seems like the trouble is mostly happening in Waterhayes, where the owners of these cars are facing some hefty repair bills.
Some of the notes left on the cars have been pretty threatening, warning that damage will happen if they keep parking there. PCSO Hanna Chaplin has reached out to families, explaining that these cars are being targeted just because they belong to carers.
She mentioned that the cars were parked legally, so it’s a real shame. The owners are just trying to do their jobs, and now they’re stuck with expensive repairs. PCSO Chaplin suggested that if anyone has concerns about parking, they should leave a friendly note or contact the police for help.
It’s a tough situation, and it could even affect property values in the area. So, if you see a car that’s causing a problem, try to handle it calmly and consider talking to local councillors about better parking solutions.
