Woke up to a note shoved under our windscreen wiper this morning telling us that we are not to park in the street?! Surely they can't dictate this?
We live in a cul de sac and everyone else up the street parks similarly to us. Our garages and drive are round the corner and quite a walk carrying a baby in a car seat along with bag and possible shopping so I tend to park outside the house (the 'visitors spots' are not marked as such and the house wasn't sold to us with allocated street parking etc so assuming it's a free for all). Our drive is regularly blocked by neighbours round the corner but we can't do much about it unless we are blocked on...
Partner parked his car in bay yesterday and when me and DS came home from baby group yesterday drive was blocked so I parked in the street (very slightly up curb as road is narrow and people up the street had wagons coming and going as they are having garden landscaped). I would have moved the car later on but partner works shifts and I can't (and am not prepared to) leave DS in the house while I move it once workmen were finished.
Is it me? AIBU? Can they really dictate to us that we can not park on a public highway and must 'follow suit' of other residents (whatever that means)?
