Fucking parking wars part 10000

[WindInThePussyWillows]

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.

Would you consider going to your local paper with it?

As a renter I wouldn't go through your landlord. He won't want a neighbour dispute to declare when he sells and what can he do?
I would get CCTV as suggested and keep up the police, every single time

Hi OP, I remember your previous threads, what absolute twats. I would be seething. I agree with other posters who have suggested CCTV or taking pictures as evidence.

I understand that you and your DH want to keep the peace but these people will keep getting away with it if someone doesn't do something! I'd be getting as many of your neighbour's as possible on side to make their lives a misery.

If you have 5mo twins you must be up at the crack of dawn and during the night. I would make a point of getting your DH to casually pop round at all hours (literally 3am, 4am etc) and insist they move as you need to get out urgently. If they decline, you've still succeeded at disturbing their sleep. Do this most nights. Tell them you won't be held responsible for any damage done to their car if you have to shift it out of the way.

I would also get friends or family to block them in when they park like cunts.

If you have a car you don't care much about, you could try blocking their driveway or parking across the front of their house.

Honestly, I would also be bad mouthing his precious business to anyone who would listen. Get friends and family to write shite reviews and spread the word that he's a knutjob.

Flip flops as she has already involved the police the landlord will have to declare it anyways so best he knows about it and helps resolve the issue

fuckers.

I really hadn't realised the huge discrepancy between councils in terms of cost and enforcement. In which case I count myself hugely lucky the 2 cases I know of worked out.

Surrey council doesn't charge and it enforces. Yours charges and doesn't enforce. What inequitable extremes.

You already have a dropped kerb that they ignore so I'm not sure that's the way to go regardless of cost.

The instructions you copied and pasted did suggest with inconsiderate neighbours you have recourse to the police. Have you contacted your local PCSO. Ours is always getting involved in low level neighbourhood stuff like ASB, parking etc.

1. Ask the LL to extend the curb - i wouldn't have thought you'd be able to apply nor approve the works as you are not the house owner.

1. Follow your local police (for PSCO/ASB), council (for parking wardens), and councillor (who will want your vote) on Twitter. Send them photos every time your neighbours block you in. Use the hashtag #antisocialbehaviour

How can the landlord help? Yes he can extend the kerb but he can't inforce it. He can't physically do anything about the harassment. The police can

So they have 6 vehicles and 3 motorbikes. That is a lot of road tax and insurance. Are you sure they definitely have road tax and insurance for all their vehicles? There is a way of checking anonymously online. Let me see if I can find a link.

I'm a bit confused (possibly because I'm not in the UK). You're posting about H-Bars (don't know what these are?) and dropped kerbs. Is there not a dropped kerb in front of what you are calling your driveway? I'm not suggesting that your neighbour is anything other than a total dick, but I just can't work out why you are trying to work out how much it will cost you to make some sort of driveway clearance (the amount that people are saying they will donate for you). I'm just a bit confused!

Ithinkthe OP mentioned widening her dropped kerb so that there is not enough space to park a car on the non dropped bit. Personally, I don't think this will make a blind bit of difference given he's overhanging it anyway.

The H bars are painted on the road - short "uprights" at eiher end of the dropped kerb and a long line along the dropped kerb. It just highlights where it is.

Know this is prob not helpful but maybe some inspiration op

How did it go with the neighbours?

Feeling for you!! Could you perhaps edge your drive with a little picket fence or something similarly cute but cheap to make it really obvious where it ends on the street?

Also do they own their property or are they renting?

How did your chat with the nice neighbour go? Hopefully they can provide some sort of support if they are being abused too.

Also check all their vehicles tax and mot is up to date (easy and free to do online just need reg no) and report kf not!

“The Highway Code can only help if the parked car is causing an obstruction to the road but not in relation to private land.”

But that doesn't leave you entirely powerless.

“One option that’s available is to pursue a legal claim for nuisance on the grounds that the driver is interfering with your use and enjoyment of your property – but to do so you’d need to know the identity of the offending vehicle’s driver,” Dixon added.

Of course, that cuts both ways. As long as you don't cause an obstruction to the road or damage the offending car, there's no reason you can't get a little bit of revenge (if not justice) by positioning your own car or other property to block them in – because there's no way you can be done for trespassing on your own property.

Found this. Sue him!

I'm really annoyed at your husband. He should be supporting his wife over something causing you so much stress when you have two young babies to care for, not telling you to keep the peace and stop making a fuss.

Are you local op? Lancashire?
