NDN using our allocated parking space, not their own!

They’ll be breaking the law

you cannot restrict someone’s access to the highway. You can however block your own drive! So they can’t get in there. But don’t block them in if it means they cannot access the highway as that’s breaking the law

Ruthless people like that would laugh at a cone. They would either move it or chuck it aside. They're steamrolling over her because they think they can. In her case, I'd be spending on a bollard.

Oh man

erve had issues with this. Basically there’s nothing you can do. Unless they restrict your entry to the highway.

who owns the road?

I got my MP involved and still not much farther. We have parking so bad it would restrict emergency vehicles and still no one seems to care.

the other day someone blocked the entire estate in. We have one way in and one way out and it blocked off 24 hours from getting out for 20 mins. When I stated that if a cat 1 ambulance went out which is roughly an 8 mins response for an infant in cardiac arrest that it could change the outcome of the call they still didn’t care…..

Penguin bollard or chain lock

I agree. Come on, OP, no one can answer meaningfully without these pieces of info.

Why don't you just park in their space?

I saw a video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago from a bloke in the USA who was sick of his entitled neighbour parking on his driveway. She disputed that the land was his even though he had the deeds to prove it and insisted on parking there. In the end he organised a building contractor and materials, and the next time she pulled up on his driveway he waited until she’d left the car and got the contractor to build a breeze block wall around it. The scene on her return was hilarious.

I'd check legal cover on your home insurance. Check your deeds on the property and right of access information and proceed with a legal threat of trespass.

Some of them probably were bodies. What better way to dispose of someone than to leave them in your front garden at Halloween and then casually sling them in your wheelie bin on 1st November? Might file this nugget of info for later 😉

Or you could go for the ‘Glasgow Halloween’* option, and leave what looks like a body wrapped in bin bags in the space while you’re out?

• no shade on Glasgow but I saw three of these in three separate front gardens one Halloween, and they all looked disturbingly realistic.

The simple, straightforward solution is for you to get a huge car-sized block made out of completely transparent heavy-duty perspex, and 'park' it in your own space.

Just the same as when birds fly into windows that are so clean that they can't see them, and are thoroughly puzzled when they bash their bonces, your neighbours will think the space is free for them to steal, merrily pull in and then be amazed (and paranoid) when they crash into 'fresh air' and damage their car.

If they mention anything about the phenomenon to them, just tell them in hushed tones about your great great grandma who had ongoing parking disputes with CF neighbours when she lived there, and she vowed to haunt them and guard her space for all eternity. She was 6'6", 25 stone and had a very powerful punch on her, which she wasn't afraid to use on anybody or anything that crossed her.

Get a bollard and then only park in their allocated space. CFs!

What was Lemon Drizzle Cake Gate if it’s not too derailing. I remember ‘just take the cunting quiche Patricia’. That was an epic.

So ‘outing’ means that someone will recognise you and your previous posts will be searchable.

In this case, you’ve name changed.

There’s nothing to out.

Are you just bored on this hot day?

So many questions, and minimal answers!

Bollards. It's the only option. We had to do this with our work parking.

What is ‘the visitor loophole’ that you think they are exploiting?

OP mentioned earlier that hers is a better space and that’s why the neighbour likes to use it.

Knock on their door and ask them to move it, surely? Every single time.

No, this gives them what they want by default and doesn't make life awkward or unpleasant for them, so what's the point?

Can you get the space run by parking eye? It will tie them up in paperwork for months 😀

I had this issue with my neighbours MIL. I’d arrive home, and she’d be in my spot for “a few minutes “. I just parked behind her ( I could only assume she wanted to visit me) then when she needed out, I just yelled that I’m on a call and would be “a few minutes “. I took my time, she didn’t do it again.

Private parking sign with your house number on it and penguin bollard
or get some burly men with a van and tow cheeky neighbour’s car away.

Your only possible next step is a penguin bollard

YABVU - there are any solutions to this problem.
