Neighbour parking EVERYWHERE!

We've got a family not too far away from us here who have 5 cars between them & insist on parking wherever they please including double parking in the bay outside our house, we were out in our car at the time, came back to find 2 cars in the bay. Drives us up the wall at times but there's nothing we can do until the council decide if we can have a disabled bay painted in.

I'd park behind them and block them in... make them think twice:p

We asked our neighbour's lodger (really nicely) if he would mind leaving the space in front of our house for us to park in, just to make things a bit easier and save having to cross the road with our 3 kids.

At the end of the day the space doesn't belong to anybody and he might equally have had a good reason in his eyes to park there.

Parking is first come, first served.

That space had two people who wanted to park in it. Nobody's wants should be assumed to be more important than those of another. Maybe he just never told you why he wanted to park there. And even so, if you both WANT to, then it's back to first come, first served.

I'd have taken your request on board if I was choosing that space over 2 other spaces within 10 yards, but if it meant I had to walk from the end of the road and have my car out of sight I'd have thought "sod it"

I fully sympathise. Our neighbours visitors always parked in front of our house taking hubbys parking space (my car on drive in garden). They have space for 2 cars in front of their house and space for another 5-6 cars with no house on left of their house yet they always park in front of us. Some youths vandalised hubbys car on road (again) and we had no proof of who did it as our cctv only caught neighbours car in front of our house until 4am and hubbys car was further down the road. We then got permission from roads dept at council etc and had a 2nd drive put in front of house with seperate gate/drive etc for hubbys car - now neighbours visitor blocks drive so we cant get in or out when he's there - again when he has two spaces in front of house he's visiting AND empty driveway AND loads of car paking on other side of house!!!! We're now ready for operation 'block him in' - just waiting on him parking there again and we're gonna sandwich him in and switch on cctv to ensure no damage to cars or us and then we will be in bath or have headphones on etc so dont hear him knocking for ages - maybe him being inconvenienced a bit might make him realise what he's doing but to be honest I think he's just a git and if he found another brain cell it would give him a pair!

Hi all,

just a quickie, we (me and my nice neighbours) have a horrible man who lives over the road ( we are in a small cul-de-sac with very thin roads, on a 20yo estate) who lives in a slightly larger house with a driveway fit for probably 3 cars but comfortably 3. He has his wifes focus on the drive on its own (WHY?), parks his passat on the road infront of his front garden 9public highway) and his bix TAXI in a visitors parking space!!!!!!! just typing this is making me maaaaad!!!
They are a family of four (wife and him 2 kids who are non drivers obv..)

There are a few things i am interested to know and i was wondering whether any of you could shed some light!?

1) should he be able to park a taxi (commercial vehicle) on a visitors parking
space?
2) his passat which is big hampers access to the 3 visitors parking spaces directly opposite (very narrow road so getting into the parking spaces is hard with something parked opp..) 1 of these 3 spaces he's using anyway for the bloody taxi. cheek of it.
and
3)have us nice neighbours got any power to make him change his parking habits?

it should defo be mentioned that there are soooooooo not enough parking spaces for the houses without drivways to park eve ONE car per household, let alone 3. Is it fair he does this? no, but is it legal for him to do it - probab-bloody-dy....!! :mad:

Oh yes and he also moans if anyone parks in 'his' space on the road out the front of his (the passat space) even though its the pulics highway. I and several other neighbours are resorting to parking round the corner at the end of the road basically right outside of the cul-de-sac itself. Really not nice to park so far away fdrom your house

i guess this is what you get on 'modern' estates with very little allocated spaces.

can anyone advise?

sorry to go on, and sorry for being so ranty!!

Jx:j

As horrible man has a driveway fit for three cars I suggest that you and one other neighbour park your cars there to keep his wife's Focus company.

There was another space to the other side of the neighbour's car and 3 across the road directly in view of the house, so it wasn't like I was asking him to walk any distance.:rolleyes:

But it's of no consequence now...he can be single, lonely and rent a room in someone else's house - hopefully having that space will make him happy.:D

Anymore dodgy parking and I'll let your tyres down

They will only footpump up 4 tyres once and soon be nice after that I can asure you

Where is the voice of reason on this thread!

It's only parking - yes, we all like to park conveniently, but is it really worth getting this upset about?! You lot are ready to start a war!

And yes we do have the saddos in the street who think that certain spaces are their's.

I've even had someone ask me to move at the beginning of a gym class as I was stood in 'their space' :rotfl:

i have noticed that "second car syndrome" seems to have got worse in direct proportion to house prices.

the more outrageous house prices become the closer to their own front door people want to park, even if that is the pavement/ someone elses access.

the only solution I can think of is the below.

trust me, you turn up in this baby and no ****er will even consider going in YOUR parking space. or for that matter within about 200 yards of it.

this would own any offending taxi

Oh I so want one!!!!
