its blocking the street off for ten minutes every morning.No it isn't the neighbour is just too much of a princess to make an effort

it did stop her. quite obviously.only because she is a clown and wouldn't compromise

did you read the op, or did you just decide that everyone was attacking disabled kids?

It can easily take 10 minutes to get a chair out, on the lift, in the bus and secured - do you think the child should wait outside in all weathers? Further away for the house? Or do you think the neighbour is a complete sphincter?

its illegal to drive along the pavement. you seem to have that confused with driving over the pavement onto a drive way.;)

No it's not always. In this case it is one of the cases it isn't. see 145.http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070309

I hope the two posters who got it wrong do not drive.

Given that OP's child is being picked up to go to school, so she has no choice as to the timing of this, or whether it happens, and given that there appears to be no choice as exactly where the bus stops, I am bemused as to how OP could "ask" the neighbour if the bus can stop. She could tell her that's what is going to happen of course but I don't imagine that would go down any better with some of the objectors on this thread!

OP has said this does not happen every day. It is an occasional thing that neighbour's timing clashes with the bus. I don't imagine they turn up at exactly the same time either, so although it takes 10 minutes for the child to be loaded onto the bus, the neighbour presumably only gets delayed for a couple of those.

The road where the bus is stopping is a public highway, not the neighbour's private property, the bus can legally stop there to allow a child to board or disembark, and frankly it is first come, first served. If the bus gets there before the neighbour returns from work, she will just have to put up with things.

The neighbour's actions are no different from pushing someone with a walking stick over because they are walking more slowly than you along a narrow pavement, and it doesn't make any difference whether you are returning home from a night shift or not. It is just simply rude, obnoxious behaviour.

A compromise is needed.

If this woman does have mental health issues (as you apparently believe) then I think you should show as much consideration to the woman as you demand from her for your disabled daughter.

Or does one disability trump the other? Is there a scale somewhere so we can all see whether we can ignore someone's else's distress because their disability doesn't rank as highly as ours?

Somewhat silly comment to make, I feel that the DD in the wheelchair that cannot move and needs help with the bus to get to school has more priority than a completely undiagnosed mental health issues woman that has shown herself to be somewhat unstable in mind but not on her feet.......

still waiting for you to point out where someone said that only disabled kids are the problem. ill be waiting a while as its obvious you made it up to try and gain sympathy!

If you look back to post number 6, that should allow you to move on with your life.

I suggest as other posters say to see it from the neighbours point of view that the op suggests to her to be in a wheelchair for a day and then post back how she found it.....

the op claims the neighbour has a mental illness. it appears you think that a visible disability should be given preference, and i dont agree.;)

A mental illness is an illness not a disability, I have PTSD and am not disabled. Also the child has statemented rights an undiagnosed condition confers no such rights.

The neigbour could lawfully have driven at reduced speed with one side of her car's wheels on the pavement. Instead she chose to be a drama queen.

Which mental illness is made worse by having to wait for up to 10 minutes to pass a bus, or drive onto the pavement then? Or impacted on in any way by this? I assume as the neighbour goes to work and travels by car that an extra few minutes in her car every once in a while will not impact on her health unduly.

Maybe the OP was being polite & was really trying to say her neighbour is a nut job.
