Hello everyone. I would appreciate any advice on how to navigate this issue?
For context, we live in a new build estate so you can imagine the developers have not provided much by means of visitor parking.
We park on our driveway. However, next door (semi detached) park on their driveway. However, the past few weeks they have had at least 5 other cars (sometimes six) parked along the front of their house. The house across the road also has a visitor that parks in front of the house (we think parents who look after the kids) which also compounds the difficulty we have reversing out of our drive. Leaving our house has become an utter nuisance as it takes many steering maneuvers and parking sensors constantly going off as we try to reverse out. It’s got to the stage where I would rather walk to the shop to avoid the palavar of trying to navigate through all the cars. Furthermore, there have been many near misses as the cars prevent us from seeing oncoming traffic.
This has been going on for months now so the goodwill we had at the beginning is waning somewhat.
We don’t want bad relations with any of our neighbours so would really appreciate any advice on how to navigate through this in the most diplomatic way possible.
