Nope, just sheer bloody-mindedness...

Is it clearly obvious you'd struggle to get out? She might be under the impression you don't want her to park there purely because it's outside your house.

Read back, it's the side of the road opposite the OP's drive not the OP's side, not illegal but obviously very annoying and inconvenient and above all now it's been pointed out that there's an issue only an innoramous would park their car there knowing the risk of it getting scrawped.

I know that. I thought OP said that the offending neighbour was parking outside her own house. I.e. neighbour parking outside neighbour's own house.

I was asking if neighbour had a dropped kerb (on the opposite side to OP). If so, was neighbour parking in front of their own dropped kerb (not OP's) and is this illegal?

You've tried the correct/polite approach, :T:T some spineless people would have just tried to report her annonimously.

What arrogance!
Clearly you are not one of those people who have been attacked by one of these selfish morons who are antisocial.
What would YOU do? Prepare to demonstrate your backbone by having a brawl in the street?
You need a brain to be attached to that backbone, to get the maximum use out of it.

Little old lady, can't get her mobility car out of her drive? Told to get stuffed by the offender?

"Show us your backbone lady, go and have a street brawl. Use your walking stick as a weapon!"
Or just report them anonymously?

Arrogance! cyclonebri.

Addition:
And if anyone reported you for anything, you would want to know who, so you could retaliate?
Think that says it all doesn't it?

That's rubbish Birkee. Come one get real there's no arrogance in approaching a person that's doing something that causes you difficulty.

1, they may not realise it

2, I'm sure they would sooner have the chance to act themselves rather than get a visit from the police.

And 3, it is spineless to report someone without talking it through 1st

No arrogance in that, it's just what reasonable people do. and most people respect that.

The number of times a poster asks on here should I report so and so for doing this or that is quite amazing, and the standard answer is usually "have you talklied to them about it". And I happen to agree


I also agree if that doesn't work deal with it a different way.


I had an issue a few weeks ago.
I was working on my daughters wiring and had no way of turning the burglar alarm of as the internal battery had failed.
This activated for about 1/2 hr while I completed the work
Someone kindly called the council and reported it and a letter appeared a week later.

Would we have liked the opportunity to explain and apologuise?, yes of course we would but were'nt given the chance or even a clue that we were upsetting someone.

Trying to see the humour in the situation I typed a note and attached it to the lamp post directly outside, it read;

"Thank you kind neighbour for reporting the alarm to the council, unfortunately if you had reported it to the police it would have saved the house being burgled"
we must live in different worlds

Yep. He only posts if he thinks he can annoy someone. He probably wouldn't say boo to a goose in real life. A sad example of what the internet does to some people.
