Parking in someone elses road.

carlislelass

person opposite us has no drive so parks exactly in front of his gate( just about uses a tape measure) houses on our side all have a drive but because of him we struggle to get out. it`s a public road, you don`t own your own little patch.

Brilliant thread- howled with laughter at the cones in the garden and revving the nuts off a yellow metro- made me weep !

I wish I had a picture of the metro, it was so ugly, 3 different shades of yellow household gloss paint, with brush marks! classy motor started first time as well.

Normally I am very laid back, where I live now, I have a neighbour who parks his transit in front of my house, I didn't like the view so planted a 7ft hedge, problem over.
As long as he doesn't park over my drive I have no problem, like many others have said I don't own the road.

This thread is so funny. I think the price of nastily painted yellow metros may have shot up.

I do have a related problem though. On my narrow road (which is a dead end /cul de sac with no turning circle) there are 1 household with lots of vehicles (6 I think) They usually park one on their drive, occasionally 2, the others all line the road both sides.
Now the problem is they frequently leave vehicles so that the dustcart can't drive down (I'd guess one thursday in four the council don't collect the rubbish on the correct day because of this) and even more worryingly there'd be no chance of an ambulance or firetruck driving down. Neither the district or county council are interested. Any ideas? (Oh and several neighbours have spoken to them about it but they persist in doing the same thing).

It may be worth mentioning this case to the fire brigade and / or ambulance service as they may have some influence

If the people who think that the unmarked space on the public road is theirs then they should pay for it. Pay rent to park their car on it and pay more to maintain their little patch of England.

Glad your plan only applies to England and not the rest of the UK....:rolleyes:

Now this is completely different if parking is blocking the road access for emergency vehicles.

I've heard though that if needs be a fire engine will plough past any parked cars if absolutely necessary. Any firemen confirm this is the policy?

Slightly off kilter....
In 1986 we went to Sherwood forest for a walk and a picnic, when my Dad returned to the car someone had parked along side us and had started to have there own picnic, we saw the location first and were a bit peveed some else had the same idea. Now my Dad was an x-ray machine engineer and went to the boot of the Cavalier estate (blue) put on his white coat and walked around there picnic with his radiation meter set to test so it was making plenty of crackling sounds. The Chernobyl disaster had occurred about two weeks previously, the other family couldn't pack there stuff away quickly enough. Maybe the op should paint a sign "danger biohazard material" near the parking spot.
