We live in a group of flats. Each flat has a numbered space. We pay rent for these spaces as part of our rent. We have huge residents only signs up.
There is a primary school nearby. The school does not allow anyone other than disabled to park on the school car park. There is a church car park they are allowed to use two minutes walk in the other direction.
Every morning and night the parents pile on to our car park, they drive at speed, park on the spaces right up to peoples front doors, they park on the grass and flagged verge where the resident children play.
They have been known to beep at you if you are not quick enough walking across.
In a morning to be honest most people have left for work and it is not so much an issue and they tend to drop and run anyway.
In an evening it is an utter nightmare. They park for 40 minutes while they arrive early and wait. Then they stay chatting to other parents. It is rammed and every single car park space is filled.
Residents coming home have no where to park. Today a disabled resident had to park elsewhere and struggle down and a couple with a baby ended up sat in the car park in their car waiting for people to move for ten minutes because it was chucking it down with rain.
They also park on the pavement, on double yellows and double park and pull into the street quickly risking hitting crossing children.
So today one of the residents asked them to move their car so they could park and got whinged at. She told the next two who pulled in it was residential car parking and one apologised but the other mouthed off.
Basically it was " I can park where I want, you cannot stop me parking here, it's not like every house has a car anyway so what are you moaning at"
She wouldn't accept it at all that she was in the wrong!
We have told the school and they have sent a letter home but they don't care.
