They're at it again (see previous 1000000 posts) or quick reminder I have 5 month old twins and my neighbours think they own our road and are getting sweet revenge on me for legally parking on the unrestricted public highway --which they think they own.

Does the business belong to him or can you complain to them. I'd ring 101 every time it happens - it will build up a picture of harrasment.

WindInThePussyWillows · 30/09/2016 20:23

His own business.
I've made an album of photos on my laptop of 8 incidents since I gave birth so in the last 5 months alone. I'm so upset.

Wind this is awful, & really difficult to deal with when you're in the middle of it, you really need to keep phoning the police & reporting it, take photos, keep any notes, videos etc.

We live across the road from 3 schools, & a community centre, so over the years we've had problems with people parking their cars on the pavement, (all 4 wheels) meaning pedestrians were forced into the road because the pavement was full of car! School drop off & kicking out time is the stuff of nightmares! Several of the neighbours took to taking photos & emailing them to the local community officer, which led to them being in the street regularly & issuing parking tickets.

Try your local police force website & see if you can discover who is your local community officer, (we used to email pictures to ours) every time they park over your drive, call 101, get them to contact the car owner & ask them to remove it, the Police can technically have it removed, or ticket it for obstruction.

You need to keep contacting them, hopefully if it's your neighbourhood team, he/she will be able to build a case of anti social behaviour etc. & will work with you and the neighbours to get something sorted

Hubby has also suggested maybe you might need to go out in the middle of the night a few times, go bang on the door till they wake up, or dial 101 & get them to ring them & wake them up!

Check your local councils parking section, our LA have wardens out & about on mopeds, so they can zip around, they will ticket people who park over dropped curbs etc. I rang them on Monday, because we couldn't get the car off the drive, about half an hour later they were slapping a ticket!

Wishing you luck with it all, because you shouldn't be feeling bullied & intimidated in your own home, that's really not on

Banananananana · 30/09/2016 20:28

I own a large truck which I would quite happily drive right over their car for you.

Goingtobeawesome · 30/09/2016 20:29

Make yourself a nuisance to the police and they'll sort it to shut you up.

You need to stand up to them.

Good luck

AuntMabel · 30/09/2016 20:29

As GDarling said, I would go and reverse as close as I could to the car blocking you in then beep the horn incessantly until the twat (and hopefully the rest of the neighbourhood) comes out to find out what's going on. After a small crowd break down in tears and ask why they are victimising you in this way.

Tiredmumno1 · 30/09/2016 20:30

I really feel for you, it's an awful situation to be in. We had it pretty much daily, numerous times a day, for three years. Believe me I know how you are feeling. Unfortunately no amount of photos helped us, they were awful and abusive. No one helped us at all, we moved in the end, it was a sigh of relief that day.

I really hope someone takes it seriously and helps you Flowers

dangermouseisace · 30/09/2016 20:30

I'd 'clean my car' over his.

By clean I mean get the really muddy, dirty, dusty, sandy internal mats (as if you have kids surely they are filthy? If they aren't, buy some from halyards and then make them filthy. And then stand at the bottom of your drive whacking the hell of out of them on the back, all over his car. If he's the sort of person who is arsed about where people park that sort of thing should piss him off without actually being illegal.

dangermouseisace · 30/09/2016 20:31

HALFORDS

dangermouseisace · 30/09/2016 20:34

at least I don't think it's illegal...

frumpet · 30/09/2016 20:34

I happen to have a ton and a half of horse shit that could do with a new home OP , do you have any suggestions Grin

WindInThePussyWillows · 30/09/2016 20:35

Can I leave cryptic clues to my address? Grin

Tiredmumno1 · 30/09/2016 20:37

Give us the county first, then we can establish who is close by Grin

CatAnnoyance · 30/09/2016 20:38

This is giving me the rage. What absolute wankers they are Angry

I feel for you OP. I've been in a shitty parking war in our previous house and I never thought bloody parking would be so stressful until I was going through it myself. I too went from angry to upset and back again. All because of some fucking petty idiots.

I agree with the previous posters, bug your local police and evidence everything. It's a form of bullying and harassment.

Bearbehind · 30/09/2016 20:38

OP, much as this is a nightmare really don't even consider disclosing where you live or giving details of your neighbour's company.

You'll end up in way more trouble than they will.

Why don't you park with your back end hanging out so they can't park across the drive?

Although I could be wrong Smile
