Sounds very positive:T
Sometimes that's what is needed - ie a communal discussion of everyone on an equal basis.
At least it will have been tried at any rate - so time will tell.0 -
I wonder if it could be explained that most of the parking is done by people there is no control over, and it might be time to put a chain across the lane or a bolster there? This avoids the need for signs that no one is happy with and will stop the parking problem full stop. The bolster or chain can have a private sign on it that no one can miss and doesn't involve your wall.0

Yes, the important point to reiterate is that the OP has no control over random people parking there, and is not responsible for their behaviour. If OP is amenable to a No Parking sign on the house wall, it must be of a type and size at their discretion.They are an EYESORES!!!!0

I don't think it's fair personally to put a sign on someone else's house.
At a very practical level - there are a lot of people that apparently can't read and are totally oblivious to the most obvious "shoulds/shouldnts" etc.
So a physical barrier that the "ignoramuses" can't breach must be the way to go on this one.0 -
Maybe the community could consider some group project to help bring them all together.
A pet cemetery for example so people did not have to bury their [STRIKE]dogs[/STRIKE] pets in their gardens?0 -
Chain with a no parking sign is by far the best suggestion I've seen so far. [STRIKE]Wrapped tightly around the neck of the bullying resident[/STRIKE]0

Yes, but ... unless it's mounted on a couple of posts / bollards, the OP is going to have to agree to have one side mounted on her property, no?AnotherJoe wrote: »Chain with a no parking sign is by far the best suggestion I've seen so far.
You can get freestanding bollards, although there'd be a risk that they might 'walk' or just be moved. Although I think they would deter the casual school parkers ...Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Would just be a hook though. Fair less intrusive than a sign.0

Oh true, but if the neighbour remains as awkward as he's been so far, how much trouble with that be?HampshireH wrote: »Would just be a hook though. Fair less intrusive than a sign.Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
If it's a private lane is there anything stopping you painting a yellow box junction on the road as a visible deterrent?Make £2025 in 2025
