CF parking - would you say something?

[KinkyAfro]

We are an avenue of 8 houses, next door have 7 cars/vans and pretty much take up all spaces on the single track road. Come home tonight and DP can't park outside the house and doesn't want to park outside someone else's house causing them issues. Would you say something? I mean 7 vehicles in an 8 house ave is pretty excessive isn't it?

Again I know we have no rights but it's just bloody annoying that they have all their vehicles outside must houses and we (and others) have to park on another road

He's not outside anyone's house allthebest he's on a grass verge round the corner

So you park on the road before they do and then he parks on the drive

First one home usually does park on the road outside but there was no room which is why I'm on the drive.

They're twats. Report to council, you may get permit parking.

They need to be leaving enough room so you can park across your own drive. I would maybe politely ask them to leave maybe half a foot each side of your gate posts so you can fit there. Unless you've both got huge cars this should mean one can park on the drive and one across the drive. Otherwise I'd look at moving if it bothers you that much. Just bought a house with a 4 car drive for this reason! To get away from communal flat parking which we have at the moment.

Parking is a nightmare in our street too. Terraced housing, with a hair dressers/beauty therapy/nail salon on the corner. Some houses have adult kids living with parents so they have 2 cars, some where both parents have a car each so 3 cars per house. During the day time the bottom of the street is taken up by customers of the salon, as well as the cars of the staff, and it doesn't close til 7:30pm. There are two CF neighbours over the road who think they have the absolute right to park outside their own house. One who not long after they moved in, have literally turned up on our doorstep knocking, expecting us to move our car because we've had no choice but to park outside their house. (should point out i am disabled and can't walk long distances so park as close as we can) When my dad asked him where exactly he was supposed to move and park then since someone else was parked outside our house, he shouted a load of abuse "You should park on your own side of the road" and pissed off. Funny he's had absolutely no problem parking outside OUR house loads times when he can't park outside his own. A few months ago he showed up again, my dad was out in our car, and someone else had parked outside our house and they had big gaps either side added together big enough for a car, if they moved forward or backward to make room. He assumed it was ours/someone visiting us and very aggressively gestured at it while he was shouting at someone on the phone, told him it wasn't ours and shut the door. One neighbour when i was a kid, actually spray painted a parking space outside his house, wrote his name in it, and had a plaque in his window that anyone else parking there would be towed. Just before Christmas my dad had to park there, and when they got back his wife came storming down knocking we were in their space and to move, NOW.My dd told her no, he wasn't moving, there was nowhere to move to, and it wasn't a legal space and he could park there if he damn well liked. She threatened her husband would come down and knock him out, my dd told her fine, send him, i won't hit him back, just call the police and he can spend christmas in jail. She buggered off huffing and muttering under her breath. I'm kind of glad next door is rented out, he rents short term to housing benefit families who can't afford cars, so at lease on one side theres a carless house so we stand a bit of a better chance at a space. Also with me being disabled and my dad being my carer, we tend to go out during the day time when people are at work and get stuff done so we get home before they all get back from work so we can park.
