for wanting people to follow the rules

[ScarlettAlexandra]

i am really annoyed with this. i moved from my last home for my neighbours parking their vehicles in our spaces and it got really nasty. we have since moved to a new development where there are set rules about what you can and cant do re: parking and vehicke types its ones of the reasons i bought the house. My new neighbours are basically flouting them even though they have been warned by the developer.

aibu to expect for people follow the rules that are set, and not take the piss.

its been handed to the solicitors now i hope this can be resolved ir ill be moving again.

I haven't read through all of this but can't you plant some nice shrubs and flowering bushes in your front garden to create a better view?

If it's not adopted then you do realise that you are probably responsible for the repair costs out to the middle of the road then?

There's probably an area marked out that you are responsible for.

Also, if it's not adopted and you kick up a fuss, the bin men are quite entitled not to come in to collect your rubbish.

Just saying.

How popular will you not be when some smart solicitor figures that one out?

Didn't take me too long...

the rules are simple and i follow them all, you would have NO case.

i don't break rules i follow them.

they could if they stick their heals in, thats not my problem.

if i parked a bloody huge van i would be penalized so why not them?

But when all the neighbours figure out the bins aren't being lifted and it's your fault that will be your problem.

You're going to be mahmossively popular then.

Oh and if it's not adopted, depending on the deeds, and someone breaks the street lights then you have to pay to get them fixed.

If I was you I'd let it go.

But then, I'd never have started it in the first place.

Like I said, I'd go through the deeds with a fine tooth comb.

And I'd wipe the floor with you.

And I'm not the brightest or the most shark like.

I hope this friend of Daddy's who is your solicitor is shit hot. He might need to be.

do the rules say you can never have a van there for any period of time? (which will be a bugger if you want Ocado to deliver your food or every want to order anything on-line to be delivered...) Or is it that they can't be there over night? Because then you know they'll still park it in the day when you'll see it and be annoyed, and the time you can enforce the van being away is when you won't be able to see it anyway (when you have the curtains closed)

i know i that the road has to be maintained. I'm not stupid. what has the bin men got to do with this issue.

dh and i are fine thank you for asking.

If the road isn't adopted, then it's private property.

The bin men have no legal obligation to go on to private property to lift the bins.

Oh my actual goodness. Just read the while thread and my flabber is ghasted.

OP have you seen the pub landlord sketch about rules? It might make you see what fuckerama et al have been trying to sum up for you!

FWIW I live in a vaire naice house. DH drives a clapped out VW estate and it bothers me not to see it out the window. It's a reliable car that's paid for itself many times over.

Neighbour has a black van thing which he uses for his scooter hobby.

Another neighbours son works for the housing association and parks a huge van on the cul de sac.

I don't notice it as I just don't care. Comes in handy if I need an odd job doing.

For the record you are being very very unreasonable!!

Its stated to be overnight which it is most days but not always.

scarlett can they park somewhere else in proximity to their property? Is the covenant applicable to the whole development or just some spots like the car park?

So its not even there? And even if you "win" they can leave it there all day but just not overnight?

They will probably, in the unlikely event they comply, leave it there from dawn till dusk anyway.

What a truly truly pointless endeavour.

God my poor brain.

Is the road monoblock or tarmac?

OP, you seem to have some big issues recently. Are you sure you are not just looking for distractions to take your mind of your own problems?

How has the bin men got anything to do with this dispute. Your clutching at straws.

its the whole development. olympia

my road is a mixture of both.

No. I am not.

If you start shit stirring with the neighbours then it's going to come back and bite you on the arse.

If you start stirring shit about this van, and their solicitor is even half way worth his or her salt, then you'll have all kinds of problems, like, for example, the bin men not lifting the rubbish, broken street lights not being replaced, broken pavements or roads not being fixed.

Or court cases against you to fix things that are legally on your deeds.

For example.

Are you usually this hard of thinking?

Actually, you might well get your own way, if it's only over night now and then, then it might not be their dedicated van, but a pool one. They just will have to not take it back home which will be annoying if they have late finishes or early starts

Again, that might make it something that could have been sorted with a little chat...

And developers are normally very keen to get roads adopted ASAP so I bet it's not long before it is adopted and then they can park their van on the road outside your house.

"if i parked a bloody huge van i would be penalized so why not them?"

No you won't because the neighbours would understand that you had a van on order to earn a living FGS!. Just as they do! (FGS!).

I was involved in an exceedingly expensive dispute over repairs to a monoblock cul-de-sac.

The householders (all of them) ended up having to pay for repairs and pay for damage done to a car as a result of the damaged monoblock.

Monoblock is notorious for "dipping".

You really shouldn't start something without knowing exactly what you're getting into, and without being prepared to finish it.
