So neighbours next door recently dropped the kerb outside our houses and built themselves a driveway. They can fit 2-3 cars. They have 2. A small pick up truck and a car.
Doing this they removed 3 parking spaces that were used, and inconveniently the next available parking space on our side of the road is in front of my home where I've managed to park for years with no issues.
Each neighbour sort of parks outside their homes but before they dropped the kerb they would park outside theirs but there was extra space for other cars to. (Their drop kerb spans more than 3 curbs) because they wanted to ensure they could reverse out as people opposite park on the opposite road in front.
My aibu is, they never fucking use their drive. But they don't park on their dropped kerb either. They park opposite!!! So the residents who usually park there, now fight for my parking spot or the woman's next door to me.
Because of working hours, I've now found myself without a parking spot and I have to park round the block as if I manage to park outside mine if I dare leave, it be taken.
I actually want to shout at them for not using their drive! But my mum said I would be unreasonable as it's a public road.
Im council and they won't give me permission to turn my front garden into a drive either! And it's just a ball ache walking an extra 10 minutes to my house heavily pregnant with small children purely on the basis they don't use their drive they put in 4 months ago!!
Would I be unreasonable to actually have a word with them?
