Assuming the handbrake shoes are okay, and nothing's seized .......

First, jack-up each side in turn, and adjust the shoes first.
THEN, adjust the cable to take-up any slack within it - and only if needed.

Never ever start this task by adjusting the cable first.

Start by SLACKENING the cable

..... to perfrom a 1 point turn in a narrow road. ....

= handbrake turn?  :-/
but as you suggest, its primary role is a handbrake to hold an already stopped car.      

Yeah, its pretty difficult in an Omega ime due to the amount of effort needed to get the handbrake to lock.

But as said, it does its intended job plenty good enough when properly adjusted...
