moved my car out of the way - an hour and a half later. She did indeed call the police, they called me and when I explained the situation, they just advised me to move my car out this instance and sort it out with them..... so I took my own sweet time walking home. needless to say, she was incensed. I said I will not be moving for her if this happens again.

had a chat with the landlord and they'll come and see what they can do tomorrow. they're pretty useless so not optimistic about the parking pole but hopefully todays inconvenience will be enough to deter this idiot from parking here again. thanks all

Good on you, if they do it again then stand up to them again :T:T

The cheek of some people!!! Fancy expecting to be able to use your own parking spot.

Well done you
A chain, bin, anything physical to make the space look occupied or needing to be accessed/used should help.
I know you shouldn't have to do this as it's your property, but it does sound like some deterrent is needed.
Glad you didn't listen to the person scaremongering and sticking up for the guilty party instead of for you, the victim


When I was younger I remember my dad pushing cars out the way with his car if they parked outside our house, nevermind on our property! Bumpers were proper bumpers back then though.

If the person that is using the land to park on and has had pre warning not to park there is guilty of aggravated trespass, if they would like to call police to assist them OP has to say they have been warned not to trespass here, the officer shall then warn again and if the offender returns willfully and intentionally to trespass (i.e park there) withing three months of such police caution, they can be arrested and prosecuted.

Aggravated trespass normally involves intimidation or disruptive behaviour - ie something that changes the civil tort of trespass into a criminal offence. In the absence of this it is unlikely that the police would want to get involved. Of course, if you ask them to leave and they respond with intimidation or threatening violence this does become an 'aggravated trespass' and the police will become involved (if you have appropriate proof)

right and wrong.


being told don't park on this land again and then continually doing so is disruptive behavior (intentionllay parking there when instructed not to do so!), provocative, and down right disrespectful..

System

You must be able to show intent to disrupt (CPS). The mere act of parking does not indicate intent to disrupt.

First of all well done......

Secondly, keep an eye out at the times when this person is normally in your area, they may try to damage your vehicle in petty revenge.

You might also get them on harassment which is now a criminal offence. When they know it is private property and still park there it is reasonable to assume that it has stopped being about parking and has become a game.

If the Op has told them its his garden and the that he has to come back and move his car, wouldnt that be enough to indicate that he has been disrupted.

I think you are just making it awkward for the OP

Or are you saying anyone could park on my driveway and the law wuld be on their side
