Astonishingly, the battle has escalated between both sides, as local residents near the Stockport hospital have become increasingly annoyed at the situation.

As reported by the Metro, onsite charges mean some employees have been parking their cars on nearby streets for the last three years, which as angered people living nearby.

The Stepping Hill Neighbourhood Parking Action Group (SNAG) - which has more than 200 members - wants the hospital to take action, as the clash sinks to new lows.

Committee member Andy Hopwood, 55, said: ''It is becoming impossible for householders to park due to staff turning the area into a massive car park.

''Things are getting worse, it is chaos. Stepping Hill is riding rough shod over the area and there is a lot of friction going on between staff and residents. It is heated on both sides.

''There are messages left, rows in the street, dog dirt being smeared on handles and cars being egged. I know of at least four instances where residents have sold their house because they can't take it anymore.''
