Residential Parking Problems
Comments

If you did get your own driveway, with a dropped kerb (which you must apply to the Council for) it would mean :
1. You get a driveway to park in
2. You have a dropped kerb, which no-one is allowed to park over - that will remove some vehicles from outside your own house.
Other than that all you can do is park your car wherever you like in the street.0 -
You & another neighbour start parking your cars about 2 inches from his car at the back & front of it everyday :rotfl:ANURADHA KOIRALA ??? go on throw it in google.0

Perhaps you could find yourself a hobby
I have a hobby, it involves driving around aimlessly at night trying to find somewhere to park because one neighbour has decided to take up every parking space down the street
I understand all the parking is open to whoever. despite the fact that each house has a parking bay outside it, almost like it was designed that way
Yes, myself and the other neighbours know that it's pretty much first come, first served so you're either lucky or you're not.
It's the fact that luck doesn't come into it when someone is actually pretty much sitting at his window 24/7 for spaces to come free then literally running out of his house to move whichever car is on the drive into the space.
Legal, yes, I don't dispute that. However, no one else down the street is quite as willfully pathetic as him when it comes to guaranteeing that no one else can park on the road apart from him and his family so his drive can sit their empty.
A driveway for everyone else is not an option as the houses front immediately onto the pavement but his is end terrace so his driveway is at the side.
Before he moved in parking was a bit of a problem but you just accepted sometimes you'd get a space, sometimes Bob over the road or Jim two doors down would get a space... Since he moved in no one else has been able to park down our cul-de-sac at all0 -
If there is no designated parking. There's nothing you can do. I doubt the council will introduce a parking permit scheme just because one house has two or three cars parked on the street.
The only solution would be work harder, save more money and buy a house with a drive.0 -

I do feel for you but I cant help wondering if this man is a complete nervous wreck himself about the car parking situation, bearing in mind that although he has a drive he has two daughters and a wife to keep happy. Just a thought. 0
