What rights do I have here?

Someone keeps blocking me in my parking and says I just need to ask to get in or out and I can’t expect not to be blocked in
the police disagree with them and agree with me that I am fully entitled to be able to get access to the road
however there doesn’t seem to be an actual solution to prevent them parking behind me in the first place

any bright ideas? Bollards of course won’t work as they’re parking on the road (well, turning circle)

I escalated to their landlord who offered meditation Confused
they’re also abusive/aggressive/unpleasant so I do have to tread slightly carefully
the police have a word, it stops for a bit then starts again. Same pattern for well, 19 years now
if I’m not at home they park in my space as well and I have to ask them to move get the fuck out of it

Show quote history

If they park in your space I’d be very tempted to block them in!!!!

And I'd call the police and landlord every single time it happened. Make it their problem too.

Annoyingly I would struggle as it’s council and a pain to get through! I would have to ring them almost daily Sad

I'd ask if the police would look at it as harassment if there's a history of it.

The other issue is the aggressiveness - I have to see them daily so I’m trying to be vaguely ok as last time I went nuclear it was really bad and I ended up on edge if I will be able to get to work/come home etc

You've already involved the police, who say this person cannot block you in.
The person is still blocking you in.

Call the police every, single, time.
Escalate this continual harassment to the police (so moved from traffic to whatever department deals with harassment / antisocial behaviour).

Is the neighbour a tenant? If so you could escalate to the landlord.

You could look into a private prosecution for harassment too. Do you have legal cover on your home insurance?

WeepingAngelInTheTardis · 03/03/2026 18:15

We need a diagram. This is to vague.

Too vague. If blocked in your own driveway then say so. Please.

It’s a space, not a drive but it’s set off the road like a driveway. Sorry wasn’t meaning to be vague
