a parking one. aibu

[browneyedgirl1]

I jointly own a holiday chalet with a family member who is registered disabled We paid for a sign to go on an accessible space. we are not disabled. therefore I do feel a lttle uncomfortable using space even though it is allocated to our chalet.
a person who lives on sight has decided that she should be able to park there as she has seen dh parked there and is not disabled. (I assume)
would we be u to repoet her. She does not have a blue badge and her parking there would cause inconvenien to dsis when she comes down.

If the space is specifically allocated to you chalet then she should not be using it.

Surely the disabled/Blue Badge is irrelevant to a degree i.e. if the space is specifically allocated to your Chalet then it shouldn't be used by others.

How do you 'enforce' against people who park there without your consent?

Is the space exclusively for use of occupiers of your chalet? Or is it for use by anyone with a blue badge?

If the space belongs to your chalet why do you need a disabled sign?

I don't understand why you need a blue badge, or actually, why that part is relevant... Surely it's just 'someone is parking in my space'

the sign says space is allocated to chalet no x who is reg disabled. obv only one of us is hence grey area.

Does your chalet only have a space allocated because it is disabled? Or does every chalet have a space allocated?

Ok but I still don't understand - if the space is yours, why the sign?

What happened pre the sign?

If people park in the space what are the consequences for them?

Get a retractable bollard to stop her, it's your space on account of your chalet, not hers.

Job done

I don't quite understand the situation. If your family member didn't have a disabled badge, would you not be entitled to an allocated space?

Anyway, given that your chalet does have an allocated space, if you didn't park in it nobody else could use it either. If you parked somewhere else there'd be one less space to go round, so I think YANBU but the situation isn't quite clear!

some chalets have allocated spaces some don't. sign went up as soin as chaket purchased but we didn't akways use space. guess we coukd repirt to reception but not sure whether to.

So is yours allocated or not?
This is a v frustrating thread!

I would simply advise her that it's your space and it's inconvenient. It needs to be kept clear. Otherwise, as Still said, use a bollard.

So she should no more be parking in your space than you should be parking on my drive?

In which case ask her to stop and report her if necessary.

Not sure why you have the disabled sign though. Isn't it irrelevant? It's your space, that's it.

not sure we would be allowed a bollard. obviously we can park where we like but sis can't and she has no idea when she will arrive.
think space allocated due to her disability but other chalets have spaces anyway

Ok, so if it's allocated to her because she has a BB, who enforces it? Does the Chalet park use a private parking contractor?

It really depends on whether the space is for a registered disabled user of a car or whether it's specifically for the use by anyone in your chalet. I think this needs to be clarified.

If the "space (was) allocated due to her disability" then really it is for her use not yours.

Of course, if she isn't there you would use it (it'd be silly not to), even although it wasn't allocated for your use, but I suppose the same could apply to your neighbour.

As in, you and neighbour are equally 'not entitled' to use it, as it wasn't allocated for either of you to use.

tbh if the person using space had a blue badge I would understand but she doesn't
think I will leave it to sis to sort out

I think the proble is that us using will not Iinconvencien sis as we know when she uses chaket wheras neighbour will inconvenience her

"if the person using space had a blue badge I would understand but she doesn't. think I will leave it to sis to sort out"

Neighbour is probably equally aware that you don't have a blue badge, but I wouldn't necessarily assume that it has to be your sister who sorts it out.

It may not be a blue badge issue (in that although you asked for a blue badge space, the space may now be allocated to your chalet for all use ).

I agree with Viviennemary that first you need [the site manager] to clarify whether the space is for a registered disabled user of a car or whether it's specifically for the use by anyone in your chalet.

Then take it from there.
