Next door neighbour asking daily for my parking space

OMG you're the third poster to correct me. It might help if you read the thread, its not that long.

If the park is designated to her badge number, does Neighbour have to shift when OP asks her to?

Nope. Even in residents only streets if a blue badge space is marked out on the road it can be used by anyone with a valid blue badge - they don’t have to be a resident. The parking may be for residents only but it’s still a public highway and blue badge spaces take priority.

Good to know. I think someone else just said the same thing.

But parking in the street isn’t residents only. Anyone with a blue badge can use that space.

Tell her to buy herself a low-loader recovery truck, tax and insure it, find an end space and then leave it there permanently.

Then she can use it as her very own 24/7 'bunk parking space' whenever she wants

Unless another resident also has a blue badge.

I think notes through the door are a bit passive aggressive, so I wouldn’t do that.

Moving first time was a nice gesture, and I think you’ve did the right thing there. However, she has turned that generosity into entitlement (and is now harassing you).

Whenever she calls, repeat she needs to go to the council to get a disability space, and reiterate it’s not convenient for you to come out to move your car at the moment and leave your child. Rinse and repeat, and don’t feel guilty, you’re not in the wrong.

100% u apply for the space for disability

if she does. She will get yours.

Also - don't justify. because she'll nitpick your reasons and it'll escalate. If it's your parking space, just say no, and if shell still pushing, ask how much she's willing to pay to have this privilege of using your property. She'll likely back off...

She knocked at 11pm one night last week to ask me to move as it would make it easier im the morning for her, I lied and said I’d had too much wine and she said ‘well give me the keys I’ll get dp to move yours

Fucking hell!

No - don't put that note through her door. You aren't asking. You're telling her, but phrasing it as a request will make her think she has a bit of influence here.

Don't ever answer the door to her again. Ignore and blocker her on your phone!! If she sees you on the street, I'd just tell her that she was starting to really take the piss and that you're ignoring her because of that.

I'd stop answering the door. She'll soon get tbe message.

If parking in the street for "residents only" then it is absolutely hers for using exclusively.

I'd maybe offer to help her with the council process - you've obviously organised it for yourself, and she clearly doesn't seem able to. I think I'd say directly "I really need the space for my disabled child, I totally understand you need a space so why don't we sit down together and help you speak to the council, because fork this point onwards you really can't just borrow my space, I really need it, which is why I applied for it in the first place"

Even with a "disabled space" outside your home, it isn't yours. Any blue badge holder can use it, first come first served. And in all honesty CF's generally ignore them anyway, and it can be impossible to get them enforced.

Just don't answer her calls anymore she's really taking the pi$$

You mention the neighbour has a DP. Does the DP have their own car too?

I second the suggestions by PPs that she should at the very least ask each neighbour in turn - not just you!

she said ‘well give me the keys I’ll get dp to move yours ‘!

You have to check your insurance if someone moves your car, because you might not be fully comprehensively insured. If the car is stolen after the neighbour parks it, you might not get the value of the car back. Often the insurance policy will say anyone not on the policy is only insured for third party and nothing else. This is why I insist on garages and valet parking have their own insurance.

I presume its street parking. Which is a free for all. She sounds nuts.

I think the answer is dependant on whether is really is your designated spot or whether you just happen to get there first. But I never understand the note thing. She needs looking in the eye and telling firmly.Other posters have given really good suggestions but you need to say it, not hide behind a note.

I wouldn’t do the note.
I’d summon up all my courage and say:

You need to stop. You need to go to the council and get a space of your own. My daughter is disabled and I need my spot.
I’ll see you later.

And that’s all you need to say. Then carry on.
Goid luck and I hope that whatever you decide to do puts a stop to her incessant badgering.

you need to do this face to face and use both the broken record technique and the "no is a complete sentance " technique.

next time she knocks " Sorry NDN, but no I will not be moving my car today or at any point in the future" and if she carries on "...well yes I understand that but no I will not be moving my car today or at any point in the future" "...i understand you are upset/annoyed but no I will not be moving my car today or at any point in the future"

this is her problem not yours. and you need to be firm and look her in the eye whilst repeating the broken record technique mantra. works every time. you just have to stick to it.

To be honest, I'd be wondering now whether the original 'emergency' was actually genuinely so - or if it was just her testing the CF water.

Is the space outside your house a marked "Disabled" bay? Do either of you have a Blue Badge for your child?

Yes a note is a good call.

Hi NDN, I moved my car once during an emergency which I was happy to do. Since then you've been repeatedly asking and it is making me uncomfortable having to repeatedly say no. Please stop asking. My child also has additional needs and I need the spot. I've already advised you to contact the council.
