A woman was left “disgusted” by police and her council after the pair refused to help her remove the car of a stranger who was blocking her driveway.
Bronwyn Courtenay discovered the Subaru blocking the driveway to her Gould Street home in North Bondi, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, on Friday morning.
Her first thought was to call the local police station, but she was quickly redirected to Waverley Town Hall.
Unfortunately, the most the council could do was leave a $320 fine on the vehicle.
“They said I would have to get a tow truck to move it and pay for it,” Mrs. Courtenay told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“Why can’t the city just tow it to the yard and have the registered driver call the police and put the bill on his windshield for when he picks it up?”
As of noon on Saturday, the car was still parked in front of his driveway.
“I had to take buses to work (instead of driving) and organize someone to take my daughter to a sports match,” Mrs Courtenay said.
Browyn Courtenay has been embroiled in a battle with the police and her council to remove a car blocking her driveway.
Courtenay said she was forced to “take buses to work” because the stranger’s car had blocked hers inside her property (pictured).
“If there was an emergency inside my house, there would be no way an ambulance could get to my property.”
While Ms Courtenay admitted the street was often too narrow for parking, she was “disgusted” by the council’s apparent inability to help.
Waverley Council said on Saturday it would arrange to tow the car.
“NSW Police have been attempting to contact the owner of the car to have it removed, as per normal policy,” a spokesperson said.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Waverley Council for further comment.
