Woman had a go at me this morning

Bongedone

A lot of cars parked outside others houses are cars displaced from neighbouring steets that have other cars parked outside their houses.

I bought my flat in a block before it was fully built and the council decided to let the builders not build any parking spaces even though it was on plan when we bought it. What am I supposed to do other than park legally on a street that I have paid tax for? The paid for parking near me is an NCP which is £10 a night.

2 years later I got offered a space in the top floor of the NCP with 1000 year lease which I bought. Only after challenging the council as to why they allowed the block to be built without parking.

Another blame the councils as they have a policy to remove car parking to deter use.

Door locks.
With a remote key they won't find out until the battery goes flat though.

Not the most sensible re-action.

Very true.
Underside of the door handle now I've thought about it for longer.

Reminds me of the people in the block of flats behind my house, a couple there bought a flat without a parking space so "adopted" the visitors space and removed the little metal plate with a V on it aswell.

This never bothered me as I have my own space right by my back door, aswell as space round the front of the house, I only park round the back occasionally, lately the cheeky sods have been using both spaces by parking across them both so that they can keep a space for their visitors!

That was taking the !!!!, after all they were stupid enough tho buy the cheapest flat without a space and they now want to take over a space that somebody has marked in the deeds to their house!

As far as the OP goes, you have done nothing wrong, she is just being a nimby, does she think the space will be empty all day?

I used to enjoy pushing the stolen cones out the way in the Ambulance though.

Good that your development has flats without parking spaces as this will help people to realise that the land / maintenance of car parking is not free.

A shame then that the building manager / caretaker can't manage this properly.

Out of interest do you know what the approx. difference in value is between a similar flat with / without a car parking space?

To their perfectly sensible action do you mean ?

I see you are of the "two wrongs make a right," school of behaviour. This is ultimately a self-defeating principle based on idiocy and mindlessness.

That's just tough. Preventing someone access to their private driveway isn't causing an obstruction under the law.

But if there is a garage with a closed door, how would the offending plonker know if they were blocking a vehicle in or not?

Nobody mentioned a garage but if that's the case then yes I agree you may be commiting an offence.
