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?

Ooh! Very good. I reckon someone has disabused them of the notion that they own any or all of the street.

Let’s hope it lasts!

Sounds like they have been told to not park there! New thread before this gets full!

Deffo brill news - thanks for update

👏

Most satisfactory.

Ooh they must have been told off!

I imagine the PCSO had words
... Like "don't be a twat"?

Save me reading back again someone... Who contacted PCSO first?
CFNN, NiceNN or OP?

moons NNDN on behalf of her and OP
HTH

mumsie Thank you! I was hoping CFNN had called them & it had backfired!

Great thread OP!

I too remember how army dad ended

What?!

How did Army Dad end??? (I remember that several of us developed an enormous crush on the stalwart defender of freedom.
Does anyone have a link?

Ooooh I bet PCSO has told them off. [Rubs hands gleefully]

What a pleasing update

Oooh how interesting. Have you spoken to nice ndn?

Hopefully nice NDN was there for the showdown (trying hard not to go NAH NAH N NAH NAH!!) so she can tell her landlord's agent that she's not in the wrong.

We need another diagram...

NNDN wasn't home when they came but has had a follow up call to say they have visited and spoken with several neighbours on the road and discussed the danger posed to all properties when access is blocked (emergency vehicles not being able to access) and also the potential for a complaints to lead to anti social behavioural orders being issued and also if the council did decide to put restrictions in place everyone looses out.

Result!

That sounds like really good community policing. Well done for rising above their twattishness but being assertive enough to sort it out sensibly to this point. Hopefully they'll be "bark worse than bite" types and you can peacefully ignore them in future.

And who knew.. that age old MN advice of logging it with 101 actually saved the day

JenaTools such a great result, I'm really happy for you. Good job, you and NNDN are both deserving of a

I think this may be the first time in the history of Mumsnet that calling 101 was actually the correct advice.

I hope all settles down now OP, and you don't get any more grief from them.

Great result - brave OP and NNDN! Slapped arses and no doubt facial expressions like sour lemons will be all you see from them now.
Total imbeciles thinking buy a house means buy a road and stuff your neighbours!
