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?

I got an email this morning from the secretary/neighbor about gritting or the lack thereof

Oooh! I love a good grit bin argument! The was a massive stooshie around my bit a while back, residents meetings with people shouting at each other, furious letters flying back and forth... Result? The grit bin got moved (by the council) about 10m farther down the road.

You must stay involved OP, I guarantee it will be a massive source of entertainment just don't get sucked into being an office bearer

and Christmas jumpers Pond

and [Christmas jumper emoticon needed MN, please!]

Oooh, yes! Christmas jumpers will be our gang 'colours'!!!

The Grit Bin Gang should wear this

CF Neighbour Gang can wear this

Excellent suggestions Tracey

To wear in the summer or under the Christmas Jumpers

This was a pleasing thread to read. Your neighbour sounds so stupid.

Bwahhahaha!

That penguin with guns shirt is particularly appropriate for a thread about CFNs and parking/turning around/cars.

Much better than a shirt with a penguin bollard.

Penguin bollards are only ever to be searched for in incognito/secret mode so they dont follow you everywhere 😂

Thank you zzzzz.

Lots please

Is your neighbour being polite or a cheeky nutter

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

YANBU. But normally your land starts after any footpaths or verges. Therefore people maybe turning in driveways perfectly properly.

Suggest he gets a cone from somewhere and puts in on his driveway. Job done!

Go away really old threads.

Well done OP - you solved two problems at once. (I wonder how your neighbour gets through a normal day with normal people in normal circumstances)

Did anyone else read all of the thread thinking "You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver!"?

@Efferlunt

Ubisoft really don’t understand why people have such an issue with people using the end of your drive to turn surely it’s not that inconvenient?

When you have it happening pretty much all the time, day and night, it is more than inconvenient, it is incredibly bloody annoying.

You have music blaring out, engines revving, engines running while they faff about with seatbelts and coats and blowing their noses and checking phones. Add to that, the lights glaring at your windows and lighting up your house like Blackpool Illuminations while they take their time to turn. Plus the wear and tear on the drive.

I vowed never to live in a cul de sac ever again.

@VenusTiger

Go away really old threads.

ZOMBIEEEEEEEEE

I never got to post on it the first time round
