Residential parking in allocated bay - Court Claim received

Hi Loadsofchildren123
Thanks for reassuring me a little that this is not how these hearings usually go down.

If this happened to one of my tenants I would be firing off letters of complaint like there is no tomorrow. Can you appeal? Can you not complain to someone about his illogical reasoning re travelling expences or sue the PPC for interfering with your right to quiet enjoyment?. I there nothing you can do?


These PPCs are a blight in residential parking. In nearly 40 years renting out property, I have yet to come across one worth its salt, and the only property I have ever owned which employs one is a Housing Association.

I have thought about appealing, but with my job and everything, it took such a toll on my emotional well-being, that despite of my anger and sense of justice, I will leave it. I assume that for a higher level court I would also need to hire a solicitor?

I have luckily moved out of this property, but as my last act of defiance, I sent a strongly worded email to the Managing Agent. I insinuated that I could potentially appeal and name them as the second defendant. They have failed to do their responsibility and act in the best interest of tenants. In a block of 500 flats, entering into this hugely detrimental contract is basically negligence and they can be held responsible. So I am trying to scare them into firing the PPC. After all, it is estate agents who keep these criminals in business, and I am baffled that residents put up with this. But then again, I am aware how powerless one can feel when you're just one of a thousand people the MA represents. They're not doing a very good job at holding meetings and residents' associations. So we need to stand up and let them know this is not okay.

I have rented a house and the deeds aren’t all clear as to where my allocated 2 parking spaces are (no numbered bays) we have just parked outside our house where the deeds sent from the agency seem to suggest the car parking space is, we’ve done this for 9 months now without anyone ever saying anything that is until now...

The landlord of the property next door has visited his property to do some repairs and has seen us parking in what he says is one of he’s 2 spaces ( the tenants next door only have 1 car)

He has now blocked us in on 2 occasions having not seen him for 9 months he has been back twice in 2 days just to check our car...

What legal rights does he have to produce and what action can he take?

We have an understanding from our neighbours who have actually knocked on our dooor to apologise as they were so embarasss. We both have newborns so having the spaces outside our houses is obviously usueful!

This is a legal issue, not a parking one per se. You need legal advice if you're contesting or exploring legal rights.

It's either a solicitor, the CAB or try a forum like Legal Beagles.
