For private path , for me the photo is usless and tells you nothing really.As for please in a letter , sorry I would have done the same , the police, court and councils dont say please neither when your in the wrong.

Something tells me the property that has the number 3 over it is the number one suspect.

Whether anyone has acess to thier property further down the path though as I have said before has COMPLETELY nothing to do with you other than preventing it happen as you have done.This FACT obviously hasnt quite sunk in yet because you keep repeating it :mad: , and I fear it never will.I suspect this ignorance is the bugbear of our night-time ninja note numpty , and was reciprocally met by the same ignorance in their omission of please in the offending note.

Another thing though is that if you do have acess the whole length of your "rented" property , there is two sizeable areas in the picture on which to store said offending bicycle , trailer , et al then thats all you need and are as entitled to.It the same acess for our noteman whether they use it or not is regardless :rolleyes: , same access as everyone along it and sadly to say that parking , storing , dumping is restrictive if not preventitive.

You said you werent going to post on this , neither was I tbh as its laughable now , head and wall springs to mind.To say your feeding animosity is a joke , your in the wrong , your being challenged and others disagreeing on it doest make it animosity ..... its obstinence on your part and differing (although morally and legally correct) opinion on thiers.Its that behaviour which no doubt is peeing of your neighbour.Its not even personal because your not even using your usual m.s.e.f name.

You will never have a resolve unless its the one you want , its not a geographical problem , or even contractual , or a border dispute , its an aurally directional one .... simply you hear what you want and steer others for it.

You want solice , forgiveness and support , feeling your the victim when your so much in the wrong , trying to find others to back you in any way possible.It would not surprise me if the "but im just a little woman" , "poor little single parent card just left a violent partner ", "medical reasons" , race card or even all of them is played next.Hopefully the real ones that should use the card , but dont , will hit you with some real animosity.

If i was your landlord reading this you would not be getting a renewed contract , and I suspect that this was the whole reason you decided to posts anonymously.I hope that was the reason other than being a troll.

Im sorry to other posters too if you find reality harsh , kid gloves are for kids not those that act like them.We live in a society where challenging those that do wrong is prevented by their rights even though they deny others theirs in the first place.

I think the note the OP got is a result of misunderstanding on both sides, plus a dose of "We've got a new neighbour - wonder what they're like? I'll mark their card if they step out of line."

OP, you've acknowledged that you were wrong to leave the bike where you did. But before digging your feet in & saying you're not going to clear the path, you need to ascertain exactly what your obligations are from the tenancy agreement & from speaking to the landlord/agent, so that you know what you're responsible for, & what the landlord/agent are responsible for. Whether other people use the path isn't the point - they have a right to use it, & even if they only use it once in their lifetime, if it's your responsibility to keep it clear you'll have to do so whether you like it or not. I suspect that it's the responsibility of whoever owns or lives in the property you rent - you've only been there two months, so it may well be that the path got overgrown while the property was unoccupied, but now something needs to be sorted out to get it dealt with. Where I used to live, we had small sheds in the communal garden - I hardly ever used the garden itself, but did occasionally use my shed for storing old boxes, & when a cheeky piece tried to remove my access to the garden on the grounds that I hardly ever used it, I tore strips off him & he had no choice but to make sure I could get in whenever I wanted to. People will cling to their rights, regardless of how little they actually make use of them.

Personally, I wouldn't ask the neighbours with right of access about the note - that lets them know just how bothered you are about it, & also that a note was left by someone if it wasn't them. What I would do is, as you feel a bit vulnerable being a single parent with young children there, is introduce myself & the children to the three neighbours in particular, & then ASK them if they'd mind if you left the bike there from time to time. Humans are creatures of habit & some are very territorial, & people who were there before you will have settled into their own little routines which they don't want anyone else disturbing. If you ask them if they mind, that gives them the chance to say yes or no, & at least you'll come across as someone considerate & approachable. Alternatively, just make a personal vow never to block the path with anything again. I can well understand why someone left an anonymous note - in their position, I wouldn't go traipsing round the neighbours to find out whose bike it was either, nor should I have to. If I found my way blocked (especially if I had bags or whatever, making it even more difficult to get through), I'd have probably left such a note too - they wouldn't have been directing the note at you personally because they don't even know you, they just want the person who left the bike there to remove it pronto & not do it again. The last thing they'd be thinking about would be exhibiting a level of politeness in the note - from their point of view, you didin't exhibit any either when you left the bike there. They also may not have wanted a confrontation with someone who might have 6ft+, hairy & extremely bad-tempered.

I also understand the issue about parked cars on pavements. It's very easy for a driver who wants to park like that (I'm not talking about those who have permission to do so) to say people can just cross over, but as someone who sometimes has to use a stick to walk, I can tell you that it's not exactly the best way to spend my time. When my leg is bad, I walk on the side of the road that I need as much as possible - if someone parks on the pavement to the point that I can't get through, I have to either walk between the car & traffic, or wait until there is a clear point in the traffic at which to cross over to the other side (walking slowly, because of my leg), only to have to cross back again nearer to where I'm going. Others have pointed out that people with walkers & buggies would also find this difficult, but let's not forget those who are blind who wouldn't even see the car there in the first place & would therefore get a big shock which could disorientate them! Some people do have permission to park on pavements, but I honestly believe that a lot of people who do this are simply too selfish/thoughtless to think of doing anything that costs them a few of their precious seconds, regardless of the danger to life that their lack of consideration poses for others.
