to think he shouldn't park his van there

[FunnysInLaJardin]

OK so we live on quite an exclusive estate and have a visitor parking area. One of our neighbours who I think is a tradesman insists on parking his huge van in the visitor parking. It really annoys me as he has his own drive and won't use it prob because he parks his caravan there and there isn't any room.

Last week my nanny who usually parks on the visitor parking couldn't park and so had to park on the road.

DH has spoken to him and has got short shrift, but it is in our deeds that he shouldn't park there. Not to mention how untidy the estate looks with a huge horrid van parked in the middle. not to mention the caravan.

I think I may have to speak to the association rep, but AIBU? I don't want to cause trouble as it is a nice estate, but really!

[Shutupanddrive]

Really? Your nanny had to park in the road? How awful for her

[chickensaladagain]

oh I can't believe some oik has a caravan and is actually a 'tradesman'

I'm sure you paid good money to live on your exclusive estate and how disappointing that your nanny had to park on the road!!

I'm on your behalf

clutches face<

Your estate looking untidy!

screams

[pictish]

Lol!!

Nice one. 8/10.

[gordyslovesheep]

your nanny isn't a visitor she's an employee - surely visitor parking is for visiting guests etc?

[Shutupanddrive]

Good point gordy

[AnOeufUniversallyEggnowledged]

So you use your parking space, he uses his and you both sometimes use the visitor space? If the visitor space isn't available there's on street parking? What's the problem exactly?

[SuburbanRhonda]

Perhaps while the tradesman is there, you could ask him to clean out your moat?

[BlissfullyIgnorant]

Yes...absolutely complain to the rep. Rules are rules and you've paid good money to be bound by those rules, as have your fellow residents. Just remember, he will know its you who complained.

[gordyslovesheep]

I am shocked they don't have special parking for tradesmen and servants

[FunnysInLaJardin]

no Ouef it's street parking which is off the estate. And the nanny parks there but only for some of the day, so not like he does overnight

[RandallPinkFloyd]

Pah ha ha ha ha ha.

[FunnysInLaJardin]

the thing is he is quite rude and sometimes has loud parties with all his friends parking all over the place. I just find it quite annoying. I most likely won't say anything but yes we do pay a premium to live here.

[almostanotherday]

Tow his van away in the middle if the night and leave a note saying "now find me"

[Pandemoniaa]

How frightful for you. It must be bad enough that this beastly, rough tradesperson has been allowed to live on an exclusive estate but to compound the awfulness by parking his horrid van so thoughtlessly must be make life utterly intolerable. Run the bounder out of town immediately!

[KatyTheCleaningLady]

I really don't think it's fair to mock the OP, people. This is a very serious situation.

I mean, if the van's in the visitor parking and the nanny is in the road, where can the OP put her substandard cakes?

[WeAreSix]

The cakes have to be fed to the birds.

If there are any.

Tweet tweet.

[chickensaladagain]

katy she hasn't mentioned a carport

[gordyslovesheep]

yes shoot him and say you thought he was a fox

[FunnysInLaJardin]

see he is OK really, but its his thoughtlessness which really annoys me. When he has his parties they play quite loud bulgarian type music and it keeps the DC awake. We don't say anything but it is a PITA. I would have lived out in the country if I thought that living on a nice estate would be so tiresome!

[gordyslovesheep]

OMG call the Daily Mail
