We live on a road of terraced houses with on street parking. We live very near to the centre of town with no permits - so it’s a bit of a free for all in terms of parking with lots of people parking for work etc. It’s incredibly irritating and we’ve been asking the council for permits for some time, which is hopefully coming soon.
Last year we had a new neighbour move into the street. I have never spoken with her directly.
Since moving in she has taken to leaving her bins in the street in order to ‘reserve’ a parking space.
There is barely enough room on the road for all residents, without the issue of people parking for town, so there is not room for her to do so without preventing other people from parking.
I frequently have to park on another street which is obviously very irritating, but part of living on a terraced street. We’d all like to reserve spaces if we could!
Where she lives her bins is also right outside my own house (obviously as the houses are close), so sometimes I come home and the only space happens to be outside my house which is great but then I notice it’s taken by the bins! I do move them but it’s so annoying.
Whenever I notice the bins in the road, I move them (regardless of whether I want to park there etc). I have spoken to two other neighbours who have confirmed they do the same and they are just as frustrated.
I have also reported her to the council for obstructing the public highway. I have had a response stating they can initially send a letter but nothing more.
i have also posted a note through the door asking for them to be more considerate to other residents and to petition for permits if they are annoyed about the parking.
aibu to be super annoyed about this?
im at the end of my tether with what to do about this but its really bugging me!
