You cant do that Im afraid, if you request a disabled bay out side your house, it's not exclusively yours, any person who has a disable badge is allowed to park in it.

Your right so not everyone whom she brings on the street will park there as surely they are not all BB holders.

You sometimes have to wonder if the rest of us were better off when people like the weirdo neighbour were locked up in some asylum.

Presumably the husband masquerading as a man is in on the jolly too, or is he cowering in the corner whilst she lords it around like some seaside postcard dragon in a hairnet and slippers.

when i lived in a terraced it was like musical cars, soon as you left someone would park there as now most folk have 2/3 cars, it used to !!!! me off big time, now me lives in detached with driveway but only for my car, hubby has to park on road, the prob is we have a lot of land next door & below us is a garage, so every day all day long the folk that go to garage park the full road across from us & also block our bottom gates off where we need access to get our wagon out, i got on to council & they said as long as they have a tax disc they can park were they want, i said if a garage is in operation they should have there own parking spaces & not using road but apparently not, :mad: wish i had a brother who was a copper, if i was you i'd defo send brother round reading them the riot act

If there's a dropped kerb, that's not true. The police ~should~ act if someone is parked across a dropped kerb, preventing access. My own experience is that they will act, but they are often (understandably) reluctant to do anything, and try and persuade you to do the work for them.

A few years back I had a dispute with a neighbour who, in "revenge" for me parking quite legally outside their house, deliberately parked their car across my driveway. The police did attend at my request, and the neighbour was asked to remove their vehicle. I was not asked to remove mine.

Sounds like you may need to start keeping a diary of events and if possible photos/video of the closeness of cars. Perhaps even attempt to record any verbal she gives you using the voice memo on your mobile if it has one. If you collate photos of her blocking in various different cars it will make it hard for her to agrue it was a one off.

Also what type of business does she operate from home? I'm wondering what permissions are needed regarding customer parking requiremnts etc.

As Paul said keep a photographic record of her shenanigans but try to let her see you taking photos of her parking across your drive or blocking you in, this way she'll be more irritated by not knowing what your up to, if she comes knocking on your door take a recording device with you when you answer and ask her to "wait while you swith it on" make her think twice about messing with the five fingers.

I'm of the understanding that you should not park across a drop kerb to prevent exit not access

I'm confused how ur getting yourself blocked in...

If when u park there, there is already one of her cars then surely leave a big enough gap.

If neither of her cars are there then use another car as reference

I doubt ure squeazing into a space created by both her cars...


Unless she is moving both her cars after uve parked...

How long are u leaving ur car outside her house?

Might be time for a bit of oneupmanship:
