Parking issue

I’m writing this post to establish if i am
being unreasonable by wanting simple (ish) access to my driveway without having to drive forwards and backwards multiple times to avoid hitting the parked van. I appreciate this isn’t a serious matter but more a frustrating one given the selfishness of the owner, who could easily park it outside his own property on his double driveway. Instead he’d rather inconvenience others. I’ve referred this to the local authorities and they will get back to me in due course. The company aren't interested as we’ve talked to the owner and they’ve said it’s a neighbourhood issue. Well, of course but it involves property of yours ! Also, if emergency services want access to our elderly neighbour to the right, they’ll never get through. Interested in sensible comments only. Thanks

Struggling to see how emergency services won't get through? They can surely bump up the curb in an emergency?

Did you really phone this person's employer to moan that someone is parked on a public road?

I highly doubt that you're going to get anywhere with this issue. You'll have to suck it up.

It shouldn't park so close to a corner but you can still get out.
