Oh fucking hell its a parking one..

[Emster58]

Tell me please what fresh hell is this?

Of course there is a backstory but it culminated with dh being threatened today

We live on a new housing estate, we share the entrance to our driveway with two other families....
We have owned the house for 8 years but it has been rented out while we've been abroad. We just recently moved back and discovered that no one now living here is aware that it is in fact a shared entrance but not a shared drive. The parking has been pretty bad and I've had to knock on my ndn1's about 5 times to be able to leave my property as she was parked on it. Interestingly enough this seems to piss my neighbor off
I had been getting some building work done, it took about 6 weeks. I informed my neighbors beforehand and wouldn't allow work after 6pm in order to not put the neighbors out to much.
A truck dented my neighbours (2) fence i got it fixed immediately and was mortified and apologetic.
A delivery truck was blocking the exit once by about 5 inches and my neighbor 1 went batshit at me in the street. It was the same neighbor who was consistently blocking me in and i was only ever nice & polite to her when she was on my property
My ndn2 stood out on the drive with her dh and dm and shouted over to my gardeners that i was a disgrace for having building materials on ndn1's drive.

Still with me?

When the work was finished i took round wine and a card to both neightbours (i also arranged to get their windows washed to clean any builders dust)and thanked them for their patience. In the card i attached a photo copy of the property boundaries for their information and so they would realise that they were in fact parking on my drive and that I wasn't storing property on ndn1's drive that it was in fact my
property.

So that's the back story ... now this is where it starts to get nasty.
Just to make things better we live opposite a school.
Sometimes a random blocks the drive entrance and uses it as a parking space. Last week i lost my rag and put a note on the windscreen with Pratt stick saying RUDE - this isn't a parking space. (Fucking bastarding mumsnet giving me these ideas)..anyway turns out it was ndn2's visitor...I didn't know ...it made no sense, why would he park blocking when the neighbor had 2 spaces on his drive???
Anyway the ndn 2 stopped speaking to us (which really is ok because they were never very nice to us anyway), but unfortunately they added in talking about us loudly so we overhear , stink eyeing us, ignoring us when we greet them....sort of a pack mentality when they have. Visitors...sort of low level intimidation but very unpleasant.
The council put in keep clear signs at our drive entrance yesterday - i requested them about 6 months ago. The ndn2 has gone apoplectic. Now they don't park on their drive at all, they are parking both cars at the entrance to make it difficult for us to leave.
They've now set up toys for their D.C. On the entrance so we would have to ask the D.C. To move them temporarily while we exit.which we did, politely of course...
This has resulted in non dh going mental 'squaring up" pointing in my dh's face calling him names, taunting him, telling him hit me hit me go on...my chest just kept very calm with his hands behind his back....ndn's poor poor ds was crying terribly it was awful begging him to "leave it dad please"....when people walked by the ndn doh cuddled his boy and said to my dh...look what you've done to my poor boy you're scaring him ....
I have no idea how to deal with this situation.

Any help please?

I agree, you REALLY need CCTV. And you don't need to antagonise them by openly filming them with your phone but you can hold your phone by your side and record! It's for your safety if they really are being that unpleasant.
There are hundreds of really really good CCTV systems for much less than £100 on eBay and from China. Just check out reviews of what you're interested in. YouTube has reviews and footage from lots of different systems and dash cams and you can find the clearest, best ones using that without spending thousands.

You need to get cctv.
This needs to be on film.
They will deny it, you need it on film

Did you say that she is a ta at you dd's school and she was harassing you all, including you dd?
That changes things significantly.

Sorry I can see it was the other neighbours dd's school. But she could be witnessing all this which is almost as bad.

You need cctv. I think that you are prohibited from filming your neighbour's property, but as the driveway is part owned by you, that shouldn't be a problem.

Also, report them every single time for their verbal abuse. You shouldn't be subject to abuse just for entering/leaving your property by the only way that you can.

I would also take a photo every day on your phone of their twatty parking as proof that they are parking like twats all the time.

Do you have any very large friends who could come and visit whilst they're having visitors?

I have a funny story about scary looking friends....I had a lodger who was giving me lots of trouble and I had to evict her. The day she was supposed to move out and clearly wasn't making moves to do so.... I look out the window and a big cadillac pulls up with a screech in the red zone and 3 big burly guys of color (I live in a fairly white bread neighborhood so they stood out) get out of the car and stand menacingly in front of my house. I recognize them as the ex-American-football player coaches of the local high school's football team and know that in 5 minutes the pathetically out of shape football team will come running up the very steep street and the coaches will be yelling at them to run faster/harder (hence the menacing looks), but lodger thinks (I'm assuming) that they are thugs that I've hired to evict her and immediately leaves the house (before the high school students show up to ruin the effect). Lodger came back a few hours later and moved all her stuff out.

I'm glad you've reported this op. We had twatty neighbours who used to hurl abuse at dh and I whenever we parked outside their house (on street parking). We would have parked outside our own house but we couldn't because of their cars. Their behaviour escalated until one day we we walking down the road and they started pushing and shoving dh (who was walking with dd, then 18 months) on reins). They then started shouting that dh had assaulted them. At that point we notified the police. We had already installed cctv. They were vile arseholes.

I'd email the head teacher of this ND2 female school where's she works as a TA and inform her that her behaviour is concerning and outline what is happening.

They sound like bullies. Absolute morons for leaving their driveway clear and parking on a public road instead purely to cause inconvenience to others. The easy way to teach them s lesson there is for their precious cars to be vandalised overnight. Not by yourselves of course

I wonder what her car insurance company would make of that? Highly unlikely to pay out!!
I'd fight fire with fire but that's just me but I take no shit

I think i would do what lucie has said.
These people are bullies. I rarely say to speak to a persons employees, but these people need to be stopped

But she'll just deny it and say the OP has been harassing her. They already lied to the police. That's why the OP needs CCTV, and then she can hand over the evidence of harassment o the police and get it dealt with properly.

Did your friend who dropped off DD see or hear any of this?

Sorry to hear this i still escalating. I agree CCTV and also possibly a dash cam for your car, they are £50 and under. That way you can record from two angles and will be recording their obstructive parking and any behaviour done in the vicinity of your cars.

Cant believe this is still going on! Agree please consider speaking to employer, as this level of twattiness often spills over into other areas of life. It could, for all we know, be the push the school needs to get rid of her.

Any update?

any updates OP?
