Neighbour parking EVERYWHERE!

dubsey

We have something similar (although my husband is on a car forum and they all have parking problems too so it's very common), the access to our back garden is at the side of our house. There is a small path from our gate leading to the road, but no pathway running parallel to the road-just a small strip of our grass. My son cycles to school and frequently has to bring his bike all the way through the house and go out the front because someone has parked -not only across our path - but sometimes on it! We've also had occasion to miss the bin men because someone blocked the bin in on our path and they couldn't get access to it. I put up a nice polite sign (in case people didn't realise it was someone's exit and was used) which vanished within a week.

I saw a young lady (the worst culprit) parking there one day, politely introduced myself and asked if she wouldn't possibly mind parking about a foot further down just to keep the path clear. She went totally ballistic! Asked me who I thought I was, her parents had lived in their house opposite my back garden for 20 years so she could park wherever she damned well pleased. I pointed out (still smiling and nice) that actually she was parked ON my garden whereby she said tough, slammed her door and went into her house :eek: Turns out the previous owners of our house had a run in about the parking as well.

I have put large pots of plants either side of the path as a deterrent but they stop with their door alongside the path as an opening for their door.

Any other suggestions, before I jump up and down in the road John Cleese stylee?

We had the same problem. We have a double yellow line infront of our house! They will still park on it. People would park on the little bit of grass which is in front of my gate to get out of my house. The idiots would park right by my gate making it impossible to come out with double buggy. Becouse it`s canceles my neightborough evetualy got p**** off & rung them up. They came and put this not very nice looking thik posts along the grass so noone can park there now. Mind you some of them park on the pavement now, endangering the pedestrians as it is very bussy road.
Just get some heavy rock or polls , stick them in and relax.;)

And to get back to the original problem the OP brought up ...........

Some places have Covenants in the deeds that place restrictions on a commercial vehicle being parked on the premises or parking areas where it is part of a business owned/run by an occupier of one of the houses.

Worth checking the deeds for such Covenants

Easy to see why some neighbour and parking disputes turn nasty when bints like that show no manners, respect or neighbourliness towards others? Afraid I have a massive temper and would probably have decorated her car with the contents of my wheeliebin, and then immediately regretted it. (Violence doesn't solve anything folks!!!)

Could you fence off that bit of your garden? Or alternatively if you get the chance, play dumb the next time you see her family and say that some cheeky 'mare has been parking on your property recently and causing massive problems for you, and then say, "And she had the cheek to try and blame it on you and people in your house.................while you surely wouldn't behave in such a way..............". That's certainly better than dragging a wheeliebin, a key or a brick across it which is what a lot of people would do (hence when someone asks me to move my car, I blinkin' well move it!)

She does sound like a right cheeky-so-and-so. Her family must be so proud.
