Parking situation on my new road.

[JennaTools]

I have just completed on a new house. When I viewed it I spent time on different days popping by the road at different times of day to checkout the parking situation and all was fine. My house and the one opposite have a drive for 1 car odd road and the others have space for 2. I only have one car.

The house opposite was for sale at the same time and the new occupants have just moved in a couple of weeks after me.
They have 6 cars!!!! (Green)

I have tried my best on the diagram to illustrate where everyone tends to park - each house has a coloured for above and then their cars are the same colour lines.
I only have one car so my driveway is ample however with green house wankers parking their cars all over the place - mainly at the end of the cul de sac - it's really hard to get out of my drive with cars also parked on the road in between my house (red) and my nice NDN (blue)

I've popped round and introduced myself and explained asking them politely not to park the three cars at the the end of the cul de sac (which is a dropped kerb. But they closed the door in my face and I haven't seen them since. Tonight they've got all of their cars all over the road as per the diagram.

What's my best course of action here?

Reverse your car into your drive and let their tyres down. Only solution.

Before I read properly and give you an opinion, I think you should definitely win the prize for the prettiest, professional parking diagram ever seen on MN 😂 will read your post now!

Also love the diagram.

Best diagram OP!

The 3 cars at the end - do they block your drive at all?

This is how the end of the cul de sac is laid out so behind their 3 cars is communal grass with a footpath running through and 3 bollards stopping cars - the pavement which runs parallel to the grass is a long dropped kerb which occupies the entire length. My drive in this diagram is light blue - their 3 cars in pink and my NDN in yellow.

Bloody fabulous diagram. A*. What is the big blue slash next door to you. A camper van?

Top marks for the diagram OP !

May I suggest penguin bollards or a rugby team before some bastard beats me to it

Stop parking on your drive and park on the road where they normally park.

My sympathies we are on a cul de sac and next door neighbours have 4 cars which is bad enough.

Seconding Kitty - outstanding diagram!

Agree. Park on the road across your drive so that you can easily drive away

So you can hardly get on your drive? They are nasty cf’s.

Of course they’re being greedy with space and parking on a dropped curb is not on. However, 6 cars will be a problem! YANBU. Is there enough space to drive forward and reverse in to your drive? It seems possible from your diagram x

My first post after weeks of lurking. And OP, you have the best diagram, hands down.

Their wheels don't block my drive but their bonnets do encroach my drive like so (drive is green)

Park on the road for sure. They sound like idiots.

Agree with

• nice diagramme
• park on road, not on your drive.

Park in front of your drive for a while. On the road in front of your dropped curb. They are greedy CF.

Park across your driveway if you can.

I agree with PP, start parking in front of your drive.

Just start parking at the end of the cul de sac

If the cars they park on the road either side of the drive aren't there I can (and do) reverse on. But if those are there plus the one at the end which is nearest me - it's not possible.
Tonight I parked two roads away and walked - there's lots of unrestricted road parking near by - but I paid for a house with a drive for my car so in a bitter twisted way I feel that they should park at least one of their cars somewhere else

Just seen your last diagram - yes, if CF car nearest your drive isn't already in place, park at the end of your drive stopping them from doing so.

Ok - good plan. I've decided I don't think I'll ever be friends with these people so I suppose nothing to loose. They also have 3 motorbikes but those are in their garage so I shan't moan about them or the noise.

Kudos on the diagram.

Absolutely park on the road, over your drive. Make it as difficult as possible for them.

Why do people need so many cars? Do they live in a 5 bed house or have they got multiple cars each?
