She told The Sun: "This can't be happening and we'll do everything in our power to stop it." The retired cleaner and bar worker told how her street was often "full to brimming" with parked cars . Shirley, 64, sighed: "If electric charging spots come in, taking up our valuable space, where will we, our friends and family all park? "The parking is already a nightmare around here and will only get worse if we lose spaces outside out homes . We have normal cars and we are very unhappy about this." She fumed: "For all we know the scheme is done and dusted. I emailed the council and my daughter did too complaining about the proposed scheme but we've had no response." Shirley, who lives in a block of flat where there are six cars, said: "I gave up my car when I was 60 and when I was driving I could never get a space outside, and it's got worse with all the school traffic too. "When my daughter visits in her hybrid car she makes sure she has charged up at her home or at a designated place in a supermarket car park. "We'll just have to protest against the charging points here - they are going to be bang outside my home. "I'll be sitting in the street with a banner and get all my neighbours to join me." Her next-door neighbour, retired hospital porter Pete Neighbour, said: "It is the most ill-conceived idea I have heard. "People around here are working class, they will not be able to afford to buy pricey electric vehicles so it is pointless having charging bays put it." He cont){kind=link}
