Elderly residents claim they could be forced from their homes by the inconsiderate parking of people using a nearby train station.
They say double parking in Bramley Road, Bramhall, makes manoeuvring onto the road dangerous - and could also obstruct ambulances and fire engines in the event of an emergency.
Some have also been unable to get out of their own driveways due to parked cars blocking them in.
Together with concerns over speeding and a recent spate of burglaries, older folk in the Stockport street say they are now considering moving elsewhere - despite having lived in the area for years.
Local councillors said they would look at consulting on the introduction of yellow lines for a third time - but if the result comes back ‘50/50’ measures would be difficult to implement.
The issue was raised at the latest meeting of the Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme South area committee.
Pensioner Malcolm Brothers told councillors: “We are an ageing group, but we are thinking - one or two of us - of moving. We don’t want to do that; we have lived in our houses for a long, long time, but it is getting rather bad.”
He also told the meeting how a lorry driver had knocked on residents’ doors asking them to move their vehicles out of the way- but their cars were parked on their own driveways.
All the vehicles blocking him in had been left by people who did not live in Bramley Road, and were believed to have parked by rail users.
Mr Brothers added: “Sometimes they are there or four hours, sometimes for the whole day- sometimes two or three days.
“In other words they are going on the train, parking their car and leaving it - so consequently we have real problems with that.”
Coun John McGahan said earlier consultations on yellow lines had been evenly split between those for and against, leaving councillors in ‘a predicament’.
And Coun Mike Hurleston added: “We will speak to traffic officers and get another consultation done.
"But at the end of the day we are bound by what local democracy says; if it comes out 50/50 we won’t be able to just implement what is proposed.”
However, Coun Linda Holt, who chaired the meeting, agreed emergency vehicles should have ‘priority’ and promised the matter would be investigated.
The Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme South area committee meeting was held at Bramhall Village Club, Bramhall on Thursday, January 30.
