CFNE Parking wars 2

[AlphaBites]

Starting this just in case :-)

Just as well it's quiet at work this week

Now is time to phone the police, but more importantly, the council as the business is now causing parking issues on the road and that is not acceptable. :(

Hurrah for DH and Big Fuck Off chain.

The problem will be that historically they have been told this is fine. they will all keep doing it until they have been corrected, (this could take months) you can also buy online for peanuts, PRIVATE, no parking, no stopping type sign & put it on a pole at your entrance.
Also, I suggest that if they do have a fb page, you post, that the 2 drives that these people used are private & will be OUT OU USE, due to constant abuse & fuckwittery of CFN
I still maintain it wold be worth it for his business to pay for use of one drive

Wow what an arsehole. He's obviously told his customers to park on your drive.
Chain and drop bollard needed, you can get the ones that lay flat and lock upright.

I agree that it's not the fault of the customers as they have been told they can use it.

However I wouldn't be entering into any kind of drive rental agreement. What happens if you change jobs or are off sick and need to use the drive. They could complain that you have broken the agreement.

HAs the business got planning permission?

THat really is your first step. If it has there should be conditions on the permission restricting the scope of the business, so check that.
If not - it needs it. Businesses can only operate from home if there is no impact on neighbouring properties. If it has got to the stage of having employees, it is too big. Can you try and keep a record of the number of clients visiting each day - that would help too. Speak to the planning enforcement officer at the Council, and also contact your local councillors.

Under no circumstances will we ever rent our driveway out to this shit.

Besides which we have two cars and need full access anyway !

DH has said he has installed the chain and is now awaiting the next CFNC (Cheeky Fucker Neighbour Customer) 😀

Has he chained both drives ?

Hurrah for Mr AlphaBites!

No as his car is in the other drive and it's a large 4x4.

I can't believe that so many customers would choose your drive "spontaneously". He's told them to go there. Well done to your DH and his chain! Is it positioned to stop them even being able to park?

I fear the chain will just lead to them parking across the drive instead...

I hope this gets sorted.

Can you call up and pretend to book your dog in and see what they say about parking?

Good idea Tuddles

TuddlesAnd Sisses Now, that's a jolly good idea! Don't forget to record the call (for training purposes, of course).

CFN seems to be harassing you now

This is no way co incidence. CFN obviously tells his customers to park there. I just cannot believe the fucking cheek of it.
I would be photographing and gathering as much evidence as possible and take tbis as far as i could.
You might need to get those white lines painted across your driveways to stop CFNE and cusomers blicking your drivewsys or parking like twats!
Im furious for you.

Also get one of these on both driveways.

If you allow a customer to park, put the chain across and refuse to let them out for a hour or two, the CFN would soon stop telling them to park on your drive.

Good news about the chain. Hope the cheeky fuckers don't take bolt cutters to it one night though as they have the brass neck to do something like that.

Well done on the chain! If CFN and CFNCs start blocking the road from now on, they will certainly be in trouble! Take pics of that, I'd necessary, as it might make the council revise the conditions for his business' permit thing.

@SheSaidHeSaid that would be criminal damage and therefore a police matter.

True ginger but they'll likely deny it and there will be no evidence it was them.

Report CFNE to HMRC as well if he is being an arsehole.

I'm far too invested in this thread. PLEASE leave some hints so we can find their Facebook business page
