Ok, before anyone starts with the 'well you don't have a dropped kerb so there'.....
Typical street near town centre, lots of double yellows and not much parking. Road already heavily over subscribed with residents cars.
Anyhoo, there are multiple houses on the street that have made their gardens into drives and some have, and some don't have, dropped kerbs. I applied to the council and was turned down for a dropped kerb as the size of our frontage didn't meet their minimum space requirements. I obtained a list of planning permission since year ., of all the houses that have dropped kerbs not one of them was given permission.
To be honest we did think about putting one regardless but knew someone would dob us in so we haven't.
The residents that have done the same, and have no dropped kerbs, have vehicles way bigger than the drive and overhang the path quite a bit. I don't I'm fully on.
No one ever gets a ticket unless it's a car on double yellows.
Outside our house is double yellows so in theory no one should be parking there but they do.
In the past week I've been blocked in twice. One of the cars did get a parking ticket.
Now there's a car there today blocking me in. WIBU to put a note in the car asking them not to park there given that there are multiple parking spaces today so there really was need to block me in?
Both times that I've been blocked in there have been other spaces available.
If there wasn't and someone needed to unload shopping or whatever, I have no issue with it.
