To get 'fuck off and park elsewhere' signs made and stick them on these cars

[ALemonyPea]

So sick of not being able to park anywhere near my house.

There is a block of flats being built 2 doors down from me and the twatting builders keep parking infront of the houses as soon as anyone moves off. I'm having to park in different streets.

I've complained a coup,e of times to the foreman, and he says he keeps telling them not to do it, but it's not bloody working is it!

I have a disabled child, and after school it's a right chore getting him in the house if we have to walk from a different street.

It's making me irrationally pissed off. I think the signs, glued to their windscreens might just do the trick!

Bathsheba - it's the local who award badges and decide on the criteria. Most of them now insist on higher rate mobility for DLA

I hear you OP. The week after I had given birth to twins the site opposite me was being converted into flats. Every time I went out I returned to find no available parking. I complained and was laughed at and told they had every right to park there. So I took to parking across the site entrance whilst unloading the twins and leaving it there. Site foreman came out and told me I was blocking lorries into the site and he would call the police. Told him to do so. He then asked whoever was parked in front of my house to move. Repeated this tactic until they left a space everyday. I'd just like to add the disclaimer that I was in heavily in the throes of PnD and had had an awful labour with various complications so probably not being reasonable at all... But it worked.

OP if the foreman is sympathetic (at least outwardly) then perhaps you can enlist his help.

If you have a chance before you get DS from school, suggest you ask the foreman to get the offenders to move their cars - there and then. (Reiterate why you need this, DS's extra needs etc). If he makes the offenders stop what they're doing and move their cars then they might remember not do it again as it's inconvenienced them.

of course the foreman may not be willing to go this far but worth a try?

Or try what puguin says

How are some cars arses, Waitrose? Or any cars indeed?

I meant car drivers. I'm sure you knew what I meant...

That might work, just need to find some twins.

Will the flats have parking once built or will this be a whole new problem?

I would definitely keep complaining to the builders.

I'd be worried about the new flat too...

You have my sympathies OP. I used to live near a train station in a commuter town. Every bloody day I struggled to park. Other than giving death stares, there was nothing I could do.

Could you block them in by parking at the entrance of your small road, just when they are leaving for the day.

You could even be in your car but really struggle to manoeuvre out of the way. It could easily take you half an hour if the street is cramped 😀.
I'd do this every day until they stopped using all the parking spaces.

Get some cones and put them outside your house. Put a 'BOSWELL' name plate on your house.

Dp is a builder and they would get bollockings for this. Have a look who the main contractor is on the work vans or on notices on the site entrance. It is probably different to the foreman or subbies on site. Ring their head office and complain.

If you can't find it from there have a look on either the planning section of your local council or the land registry department. You should be able to find out who owns the site. Ring them and complain. That should get you somewhere.

The flats have parking, and the entrance to that won't be on my street. Otherwise I would definitely be trying to get permit parking for our street.

Little England at its finest 😂

That's hilarious Marmite

if your ds is like mine he would kick everyone in the melt down up the road. or hit them with a stick. such a shame if he had a meltdown and the vans got damaged.

or trip me up. I once sat on the bonnet of a posh bmw that had parked completely on the pavement. ds got under my feet. small autistic ds was like having a very excitable dog on the end of a lead here, there and everywhere and round your legs with his reins.
