Best not feed the trolls folks. This is supposed to be a good news thread, don't let the usual self-aggrandising knobheads drag it into the gutter.Je suis Charlie.0

Arcon makes some good points, landowners have rights too.
I own a flat near the town centre directly across the river is a multi-story car park. Yet time and time again people park in my space rather than pay the car park charge, these are the scum of which we speak.
I tried blocking them in, leaving notes, leaving threads, to no avail. Eventually we installed a rising bollard, the tenants do not like it so mainly do not use it, but the threat of being trapped the wrong side seems to deter most of the money savers.
Ideally I would like to sanction them for trespass, but how do you prove who was driving?You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -

That's the answer - a physical barrier (and basic version of these sort of things are advertised at under £50 online) no need for 'sanctions'.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I remember the old days with the clamp though. Pair of bolt cutters in the boot, pop the padlock, and the barrier is down. Most it would cost would be the price of a new lock.0

£50 will not buy you much, a flimsy surface mounted affair which will probably last a few weeks. You need something much more substantial and disability friendly in a block of flats.
A remote controlled electric bollard rising from the ground, with a handset for each tenant and landlord, wiring and installation, is likely to set you back well over a grand.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
