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?

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

Simpler times!

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

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...

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

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

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

I think maybe people need to calm down ...... LOL
