I moved into a council property a couple of months ago (maisonette, house turned into two flats). My upstair's neighbours own a taxi rank so take up all the available parking spaces directly outside the flat with 5 people carrier type taxis and 1 estate one, which means we have to park on the other side of the culdesac which has a massive grassy island in the middle of it. We struggled like hell to move our stuff in. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have bad SPD so struggle walking far distances at the best of times, and I would love to be able to park outside my own home anyway.
One day there was a space infront of our flat because one of the taxis were being used and we had some more boxes to move in so it was ideal. I didn't think this would be a problem but the next morning we got a knock on our door. It was the upstairs neighour, he asked my OH to move his car so he could park his taxi outside. OH not wanting to get off on bad terms with new neighbours he moved his car. Now I am thinking what the hell. They can't tell us where we can and cannot park our car, especially when we're going to be lugging a child/travel system/loads of shopping out of it. I imagine he likes to park them there for security reasons but it's still really rude and inconsiderate of the other residents. The parking spaces aren't assigned to certain flats/houses but taking up all 6 spaces? Now that's just taking the piss. Please tell me i'm not BU.
