A resident of the Moss Rose estate is on a one-woman campaign to improve parking.

Adele Eedle, 47, has taken social media by storm recently, documenting the issues with parking around the Leasing.com Stadium, home of Macclesfield FC.

While delighted with the club's success in recent years, the 'inconsiderate' parking of visitors has caused problems for neighbours such as Adele.

She fears it is only a matter of time until there is an accident.

"It's a fatality waiting to happen," she said.

"Things need to start moving before these things happen. We can't just be waiting for that knock on the door."

A lifelong resident of the Moss Rose Estate, Adele has noticed parking steadily getting worse, particularly on matchdays or when the football stadium is hosting large events.

Deciding enough was enough, in October 2025 she began posting photos and videos to Facebook and TikTok, highlighting some of the worst offenders.

She said: "It's always sort of been a problem because we've always had a football ground but over the past year I'd say, it has gotten really bad.

"I want to be clear; I'm not against the football club. It's brilliant everything Macclesfield have achieved. It's just the parking.

"I've been brought up on this estate. Council estates can get such a crappy name, but when we pull together, we do it properly. I'm just looking out for everybody."

Alongside her social media campaign, Adele attended a police surgery in December, voicing her concerns to local officers and councillors.

She also highlighted the example set by Tytherington FC, where she and other parents have taken matters into their own hands, patrolling the area to prevent inconsiderate parking.

Adele wants to see the club, Cheshire Police and the local council work together to tackle the problem.

"It's a breakdown of communication," she said.

"If we all work together, I'm not saying the problem will be solved as there's no magic wand, but it's a start."

Cheshire Police say they are keen to work with the club and local authorities to 'find a solution'.

During Macclesfield's last home match, against Chorley on Saturday, March 7, officers handed out four traffic offence tickets.

The area's beat manager, PC Jardine, has also ordered signage which will be installed in the 'near future'.

Inspector Richard Haque said: "Cheshire Constabulary is already having constructive discussions over the parking issues highlighted by residents of the Moss Road Estate around the Leasing.com stadium.

"I attended a Town Council meeting earlier this week where the issue was again discussed with Cheshire East Council and representatives from Macclesfield FC and we will be having further discussions in the near future setting up a working group.

"All parties are keen to find a solution."

Lindsay Brown, general manager at Macclesfield FC, added: "Parking in the surrounding residential streets has been an ongoing issue in the area for many years, well before Macclesfield FC was reformed in 2020.

"In fact, during the previous era when Macclesfield Town were playing at the stadium, attendances were often significantly higher than they are today, which created even greater demand for parking in the vicinity.

 "That said, the club fully recognises the concerns of local residents and we consistently take a number of steps to encourage considerate behaviour from supporters. Ahead of every match we publish reminders across our social media channels asking fans to park responsibly and to be mindful of the surrounding residential streets. In addition, Tannoy announcements are made before, during and after matches asking supporters to park courteously, not to block driveways or entrances, and to leave the area quietly out of respect for residents.

 "Where we are made aware of vehicles that are parked inconsiderately, we will also make specific Tannoy announcements requesting that the owner returns to move their vehicle where possible.

"We have also contacted Cheshire East Council on several occasions in the past to request assistance with potential measures such as traffic wardens on matchdays, additional bollards, or resident parking permit schemes. Unfortunately, we have not received any response or action following those requests to date.

"On matchdays we work closely with Cheshire Police and our own safety team, who are fully aware of the steps the club takes to try and support the situation around parking and general matchday management.

"It is important to note that the surrounding roads and residential areas are outside of the club's control. Measures such as parking enforcement patrols, signage or wider traffic management solutions would fall under the responsibility of the local authority.

"Please be assured that we do take these concerns seriously and will continue to encourage supporters to be respectful of the local community. However, some of the measures that would be required to formally address parking restrictions or enforcement are ultimately beyond the club's control."
