AT the end of a long hard day at work, all people want to do is go home.

But, for people in Taunton parked on Canal Road, it was impossible.

A group of frustrated motorists were unable to get down the road after a black Peugeot and a blue BMW double-parked, blocking the road.

Some were left stranded in the road, which is often used by people wanting free parking during the day, for more than five hours.

The police were even called at one point to try and trace the owner.

Karen Lumley, who works at nearby Viridor, said: "I've been here since midday.

"We have tried calling police but noone has come yet."

Another motorist, who wished to remain anonymous, was meant to be travelling to Bristol but was unable to start his journey as he was blocked in.

He added: "It's quite ridiculous how stupid people can be."

The owner of the Blue BMW turned up at around 5.30pm to move the car, freeing the other motorists to go about their normal business.
