Next door neighbour asking daily for my parking space

So just to clarify OP you have a Blue Badge or whatever is required to park in the disabled bay. I would pop a note through her letterbox saying it is significantly impacting you being repetitively asked to surrender your space for her. Do you give her the Blue Badge as well? As she seems in desperate need of one herself point her to the website where she can apply. If it becomes an issue in the future, that there are not adequate disabled spaces then that is a matter for the council. I would think based on the number of Blue Badges allocated to that street they would be aware of the number of disabled bays required. They are in my area. In summary she is a CF and needs to get her own Blue Badge. I highly doubt she has compensated you for the time and inconvience suffered.

Have you never told her that your child is disabled too?

"No, and please stop asking now. My child also has disabilities that mean I need to park close to home. Please ask somebody else."

Marked in white, so yes, advisory and not strictly enforceable. Anyone with a blue badge can park in them, so not solely for the use of the resident.

Just tell her it was a one off, and you need your own parking space for you and your family especially your child!

Do you think there is a reason why your neighbour doesn't ask the council for a parking spot? Has she been declined before? Or does this "privilege" come with a cost f.i. not having benifits for public transport anymore? Anyway, you shouldn't give up your space on a regular base. Fine to help a neighbour out, I would do the same, but not to the cost of losing a much needed facility.

@Chocolatecoffeecream did you speak with her or put a note through? How did it go?

I believe the disabled parking spaces put outside homes are not actually legal, more of an advisory.

Hi, okay this sounds really harsh, but this is what you have to do. When she knocks again. You say. The answer is no, I will not be moving my car for you in the future anymore, so do not knock at my door anymore. If she says oh but my dd is disabled. You say that's your problem not mine. Now please leave m alone. And shut the door. I know this sounds harsh, but sometimes being firm and a teeny bit aggressive works.

This.
If you want to remain on good terms with her while you stand your ground then I suggest you find out the process for applying for a disabled space and pass the info on to her.

YANBU to want her behaviour to stop, but YABU to be making excuses or thinking about leaving notes. Just tell her straight! You don’t need to be rude or confrontational. Next time she asks just say, “I’m sorry, I was happy to move for a one-off emergency, but I can’t regularly move my car as it is inconvenient and I also have a disabled child.”

The end. If she keeps asking just repeat that.

I would had thought if the council did put in be a disabled space on the public road, a Blue Badge would be needed to actually park in it.

Sounds like she can’t be bothered with the council as it’s likely to be a long procedure. It’s a public highway and the spaces outside her house don’t belong to her or anyone. I would tell her NO and wouldn’t care if she was angry as she’s being unreasonable.

It doesn’t matter if she has a disabled hold or not and whether or not you do is irrelevant. It’s your space and she shouldn’t be taking the piss like that. If it continues she’ll just park there without asking and before you know it you’ve lost your space.

tell her to eff off.

Unquestionably cheeky, entitled and massively selfish behaviour without any concern or care for you and your family!!! 🙄
If you do not want a face to face confrontation (which I wouldn't myself) then indeed write a stern but polite note and put it through the door ASAP!!
Just explain why what she is constantly requesting is wrong and not acceptable (not that she will not deep down know that herself!) and tell her firmly and categorically that you will no longer be moving your car to accommodate her!
She is well and truly 'extracting the Michael' FFS!!! 😡

Just keep saying no.

Wow, that’s a new level of cheeky fucker entitlement.

Do what you want OP, a note is fine. It doesn’t really matter how you do it, she still won’t like it. As she’s a CF who clearly doesn’t care what you think of her, you can stop caring about what she thinks of you.

What makes most difference to your life? Silent thoughts in someone else’s head or being asked at all hours to move your car far away and then having to make your own child with SEN go further?

OMG WTF!!! What an absolute cheek!!! I’d be really firm and tell her the space is yours, don’t not ask me again else we are going to seriously fall out. Knocking at your house at 11pm is outrageous!!! I’m mad for you

is it a disabled space specifically for you? Does it belong to your house (sorry idk how these work). If its just grneral road space youve parked on say no

Just say NO! No need to explain, no need to apologise, no need to justify your decision.

You need to just say no, Not no because.......xyz
Pushy people always find a solution to a reason you give. If you do feel like you need to add something try no sorry I'm not OK with moving it today.
Or sorry if I had wanted to park further away from my house I would've done.
Learning to politely say no is a skill and can feel a bit awkward at first but people who know me feel easier about asking for favours now as they know if I can't I will just say no and it's OK.
I definitely hate asking family for favours when they are the sort that won't say no even if they want to cos I feel guilty second guessing them.

If you are parking outside your house then why can't she park outside hers, or is the space on the road between you both? Assuming she must manage to park there sometimes, so next time just turn up at her door and ask her to move.

This. 100%.

Don't put a note through her door - speak to her directly and explain that you need this space yourself. This is NOT unreasonable!

What a big hassle to expect you to go and move your car each time! 11pm at night I would’ve said you’ve woken me up what’s the emergency? I’d tell her to foxtrot Oscar tbh

Just stop answering the door to her. She will soon get the message
