Can I be evicted for playing football in carpark

PhilE

I practice martial arts. I don't do it in the car park, as that's where people park their cars.

This makes sense to many. Unfortunately, as soon as a ball becomes involved, a yobbish entitled mentality comes into play.

Your OH needs to go to the public park, and play football there. Many parks have goal posts. He can then play football without any potential complaints, affecting his and others lives.

He's an adult, he needs to put on his big boys trousers and act like a responsible man.

Upset others? since when is he responsible for their feelings?

He's not responsible. But it's nice to be nice. Don't you think?

With kids playing in the road / in car parks etc the council may as well get rid of play parks and put a housing estate on it.

Shame the neighbours don't either.

Yes I agree. But it still doesn't make it right to play football in a car park. Just like it's not right to park cars on a football pitch.

Agreed. What a poor role model

Op, who owns the car park? The leaseholders?

Oh dear Gerrymouse, you sound like a lovely, reasonable, considerate person and neighbour, and your other half … um … less so.
I'm afraid when logic and reason fail to persuade a stubborn, inconsiderate person to change their behaviour, you need to employ other strategies - stealth and cunning always gets my vote.
So, tonight, when your home is in darkness and OH/son are sleeping soundly, I want you to take the football into the kitchen and whisper to it …..

Like the neighbours with their parking, which people seem to forget.

No Marvel1, we're not forgetting that some of their neighbours aren't that pleasant either, but two wrongs don't make a right and escalating this antipathy isn't going to help OP or her family (despite what her OH thinks) - it's also rather childish.
If a couple of their neighbours kept dogs, rather than cats, which barked all night and kept OP and her family awake, I'd be giving those neighbours a hard time on here. If OP or her husband/child were disabled and needed the disabled parking bay, I'd be saying how selfish the driver who currently uses it is (if they don't need it). And for their upstairs neighbour to say it wasn't her problem when work carried out in her apartment caused a problem in theirs, was plain obnoxious and I would totally support OP's OH in feeling aggrieved about that. However, it seems to me that this elderly neighbour and OP's OH are cut from the same cloth and plainly there is now "history" here.
A car park is no place to kick a ball around and is, potentially, an accident waiting to happen. Who do you think OP's OH would blame if a car entered the car park and knocked their son over?
