I live in a street thats fairly close to a primary school, there are 3 other streets that are also very close (probably closer) since the start of the year i have noticed more and more parents parking in resident bays and on the side of the road, after easter break it got worse, now there is around 20-30 cars parked all over the place even blocking our cars in (ok its only for 5-10 mins but what if someone had an emergency or an appointment?) today i was trying to get out to a doctors appointment with dd (if we are 5 mins late the appointments cancelled so i like to arrive earlyish) there were cars parked all the way up the right hand side of the road so i was on the correct side and the woman driving towards me wasnt. She refused to move until she eventually gave in because i couldnt reverse as there was a car behind me and she left the smallest amount of space for me to get by and she unleashed a monster amount of abuse at me. I told her not to park here as its not fair for the residents as we pay rent/mortgage etc.. And she then said my attitude stinks and she pitys my children and that she will be seeing me (probably to attack me or something) she also said she had a dog in the car so couldnt move her car for this reason i called the head teacher of said school to complain about the parents and she said she will send letters out to them asking them to stop (if that doesnt work then i have to contact my local councillor) I assume they previously parked in the others streets and the residents also complained so they had to stop and now they moved to here. Was i right to complain? And was i BU to ask her not to park here?
