Neighbors visitors using path

[gogglepod]

My neighbor seems to have A LOT of new friends that think our garden is a shortcut to her garden and drive their mopeds up our path. I’ve asked for them not to drive but happy for them to push them as I have small children that use this path and don’t want them being knocked down and hurt. They have continued! I don’t like confrontation but feel strongly that I don’t want them driving up and down plus it’s noisy when kids in bed. Would you have another word or contact the council/police?

What do your deeds say? If there is no right of way I would just put up a fence.

Is there a way for you to block their path?

Could you put a fence or gate up to block them?

This is so annoying, my mums neighbours keep using her stairs because theirs are steep, and leaving the gate open and she looks after my children and lives on a busy road. She's just blocked it off now between their houses with loads of plant pots in a row.

Next time I see them, I would go out to greet them and tell them in no uncertain terms to not ride up my path.

Does your neighbour have a right of way? If not, I would be tempted to tell them to not use my path at all.

It’s a shared path that runs between the houses and we have some stairs half way down through our garden which some lass thinks it’s ok to walk across our drive to cut the corner out. The deeds say it’s to be accessed by foot only. I think I’ve been fair saying it’s ok to push bikes down as it’s better than them been all over the road but I feel they’re just pushing that bit more to do what the hell they want.

Could you put some obstructions that would make it really awkward for them to drive past? Like lots of ornamental things?

Can we have a diagram please?

Could you lay one of those stingers the police use. That will sort the problem

Hope this helps, my drive is my property but we both have access to the path but I don’t use it unless I need access to the garden/bins

The kids run down the stairs and run up and down the path but know not to go on road. My smallest likes to run on the path to hide etc which I never worried about until now

Ok well I would pop a note through the door. Keep it civil but emphasise strongly the danger it's putting your young children in.
Date and photocopy the note. Hopefully that may work. But if not you have proof you have asked reasonably.
Not sure what the police could do. But others may know more.

A fence along between your driveway and front of house with gate at top of stairs with padlock on

As you have to share path but not driveway as well

If you don't use driveway for car then fence it all in or put gates access on front of driveway if you have visitors that want to park

Then children have fenced area to play in

We do use the drive but I think the way forward we’re gonna build the steps up and leave acsess to the back garden. The kids are safe then but I don’t see why I should lose my right to the path.

If I rung the council do you think anything could be done as hers is a council property?
