I really know this is a small matter in the grander scheme of things - but it is really stressing me out - appreciate any advice/guidance but don't want to lower myself to their levels!
I live on a road about a mile from town that is not resident controlled parking (although some other roads in the area are). I have a drive but the road outside is quite narrow and used by a set of flats maisonettes next door who have garages but no off street parking.
Every Weekday a van pulls up and parks at the end of my drive and waits while his mates (up to 5 a day) turn up and park - they then all pile into the van and head off for work returning 10 hours later. They park right up to the end of my drive on both sides and all down the street blocking it for all in terms of visitors deliveries and hampering my visibility in leaving the drive.
I have tried polite notices asking them not to do this and even a stern notice telling them not to do this and that I would involve the authorities if this continued - the leaflets are shredded and thrown around the street
I have spoken to the council who said that although it might be unreasonable to the residents to create a "Park and Ride" as they termed it in our street they are perfectly entitled to do so and that we should just put up with it.
While it may not be technically illegal (which I am currently checking) but it is clearly unfair and detrimental to residents -none of the Park and riders are local and probably don't come from the same town.
Other than get over it - which I may well have to do - any advice or simialr experiences sensibly resolved appreciat
