Sounds like the handbrake seized/ sticking. Could be the cables or mechanism at rear (drums or discs? - don't know the polo) seizing on. Given your location (lots of rain/snow etc) rusting of the cable or mech is highly probable. A strip and clean is needed.
rust on the back brakes. It is most common on discs, where the rust will be very visible. Will be worse in wet weather or if you live near the sea on salty roads.
Will be worse if the brake wheel cylinders are very dirty and stiff so they do not relax back when the brakes are off.
IMO handbrake cables are fairly reliable so unless very old are less likely to be corroded or sticky

Had to replace the cables on my '05 Mondeo with 90k on the clock.
So......does this Polo have discs or drums on the back then?

Thats a good bit of advice!
I'd still like to check that the shoes aren't starting to delaminate though......the originals would have been rivetted, but not the replacements - if applicable.
