I've had a white 'no-parking' line to give me access to my driveway for over 20yrs. My driveway is very narrow and you can only pull out in a directly straight line. The line has now worn off and neighbours & their friends/relatives have started parking with the fronts of their cars overhanging my driveway meaning I can't get out. I've missed several appointments because of this recently. I phoned the council to ask about getting it painted back again (there used to be a fee for this) only to be told that due to cuts, they no longer provide the service. The council told me to get a sign made saying vehicles parked across my drive will be towed to the pound - and that in the event I'm blocked in again, I'm to phone the council who'll come & remove the offending vehicle. I don't want to fall out with my neighbours, it costs over £200 to get your car back once it's been impounded. On the previous 3 times I've phoned the police 111 they've told me the cars are registered to my street but there's no phone number listed for them to call & due to data protection, they can't tell me which house the cars belong to. Sometimes I have to go door-to-door knocking & either people don't answer or they don't know whose car it is. This is a major pita for me. I just want to be able to use my drive. Wibu to paint the line back in myself? There'd soon be a huge hugh&cry if I got each car impounded. What do you think?
