Parking situation on my new road.

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?

Thanks OP and NNDN ~ bullies need challenging and a united front really helps. Two stong women ~ inspirational stuff.

I've just arrived home a little earlier than expected from up north, and it's so nice to be able to use your own driveway. A little thing I'm sure I've always previously taken for granted, but not anymore.
Dmum took over some flowers to NNDN this afternoon too, thank you, my new friend and silent partner Thanks

Can you get CCTV installed. I don’t trust them not to do anything to retaliate

JennaTools · 19/07/2018 22:24

We've wanted CCTV for a while so will be looking into it properly yes. They're complete arse holes after all Blush

You’re not good at writing endings to horror stories. Wink

I hope it remains this way.

MoonsAndJunes · 20/07/2018 20:01

Is this nearly full? Make sure you make a new thread if there are any developments OP! Great result! Flowers

MoonsAndJunes · 20/07/2018 20:03

We will miss your wonderful diagrams. All others will look poor in comparison from now on!

IfYouDontImagineNothingHappens · 20/07/2018 21:29

Instead of CCTV can I possibly request a live webcam so we can all watch?! Grin

Excellent thread, fantastic diagrams!

Any update on this OP?

MurielTheSheepDog · 19/08/2018 17:00

@JennaTools have there been any new developments?

smackbangwhollop · 29/12/2018 17:47

Selfish twats. They won't change if they're that way inclined. I don't think it's worth trying to converse with them. I would park in from of where your blue NDN parks across your drive but make sure they can't fit a car in behind you or park in the space immediately to the left of your entrance.
I would always be polite and friendly but underneath make it as difficult as possible for them to park there. If they'll slam the door in your face you don't know what they're capable of if you blatantly piss them off.
