To not want this car parked on my grass?

In front of our house we have a small garden and then a fence, then there is a grass verge in front of that, maybe 2 feet in width. It is ours, we have to cut the grass and maintain it. A lot of the houses in the street are housing association, and the council deals with their grass and outside space, so I think the person parking outside on our bit thinks it is public land iyswim?

They are parking half up off the road with two wheels on our grass. I understand why they are doing it, it's a narrow road so they are being considerate in some ways I suppose! And there is a shortage of parking. Which is one reason I object, as I want to know that space is available if I come back and there is no spaces on the road. I also object just in principle, it's our grass, and I don't want to look out and see someone's car sat there! That's why I don't know if AIBU, maybe I'm just being petty.

I have vague plans about planting some bulbs and stuff out there. I can't if they're there can I?! It just irritates me that someone is parking on my grass! So give it to me straight, AIBU?

I agree, a polite sign on your fence. "Please do not park here, this is private land and we use it"

I think you need to check. We have the same thing here and no one maintains them but they belong to no one. If you do then YANBU and you could get a little white chain fence. It will put people off parking but you could unclip when you need to park there.

People will assume it's public because of where your fence is.
