Neighbor complaint - people using his drive to turn

[HarveySherlock]

Sorry I can't add diagram.

So we live on the cul de sack with a turning area. Each house has a driveway. No one parks in the turning area as we have large driveways and there is in shot parking as well.

Since we moved in earlier this year for some reason people use our drive to turn rather than going to the end of the road and use the turning area. This was particularly annoying in the dark evening with car lights.

We got a new fence with automatic driveway gates added last week. This now means people can't use our drive to turn. Our next door neighbor came over yesterday to complain that people are now using his drive instead of ours. We told him there isn't anything we can do. We suggested he put up a sign saying no turning.

He has now posted a note through the door (even though I'm working from home) saying he will be complaining about us at tonight's residents meeting.. He thinks we should have discussed our fence/gate plans with neighbors before installing them as they now have to deal with what was our problem. We didn't need permission for the fence or gates.

Aibu to think that people turning on his drive isn't our problem?

There is no point advising the OP about something that happened in 2017...

[SparkysMagicPiano]

Attend the meeting and record when you speak.
Br ing on the residents meeting is say. (sic)

@ilovebluecheese Unlikely, unless she has a time machine to go back to 2017

@VenusTiger

Go away really old threads.

Yup

[AyUpMiDuck]

YANBU even if he was right you have done your stint, now it's his turn.

[lanthanum]

Send him a note saying you're considering getting a better burglar alarm, and is that okay, as you realise it means people may be more likely to burgle him...

I'm frankly confused why any of you care whether someone turns around in your driveway.

I repeat

🤦🏼‍♀️

Nice to see that bookmark still works from where I was up to on this thread 3 years ago!

Simpler times!

[ZarkingBell]

@HarveySherlock are you still here? Did he get gates? Are you enjoying zoom residents' meetings?

[LimitIsUp]

Is HarveySherlock still with us 3 years later? Can she make a cameo appearance on her resurrected thread and update us on neighbourly relations?

@Daleksatemyshed

May have been 3 years ago but I just found your thread and needed to say you are a bloody star!

What were you looking for and why the need to revive it just to say OP is a star 4 years later that you came across this?

Thank you - whoever revived this Zombie and poured new life into its shrunken veins.

You have given me a reason to get dressed in the mornings again.

Oh shit

[Ijustknowitstimetogo]

@Fairylea

Give him the details for where you got your gates from

Love this suggestion!

Mind you at least we’ve had Jackie Weaver during lockdown

I had never heard of Jacie Weaver.

Now I have.

It has made my lockdown. Have been in touch with our priest - we have been doing our PCC meetings all wrong. Handforth Council has shown us the way to go.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! READ THEM AND UNDERSTAND THEM!!!

YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE, JACKIE WEAVER!!!!!

Now please excuse me - I need to get some tee-shirts printed, and perhaps a few mugs.

[QueenOfLabradors]

I had posted on this under an old nn, I hope OP is still on here somewhere and can let us know if CFN ever did get gates of his own! @HarveySherlock are you still around??

You mentioned penguin bollards? You are my MN hero

@Cinderstella

Your neighbour is laying the blame at the wrong door. Stand your ground. He needs to realise that it is his problem now.

He may have gates himself now

[mytwocats]

If you have permission for the gates,then it is non of his or others interest whatsoever,it is definitely HIS problem,tell him if he don't like it,get some gates.sorted.

[Nonamesavail]

Sounds like.my neighbour. Honestly just ignore it

[PopsicleHustler]

That would drive me nuts having people in my drive like that.


Just seen your post was 2017!!!

Ahhh the days before Covid19!!!
