Parking issue

Hi there, my parents live in a Terraced house with my brother. My brother owns one car. There is a family who live opposite me. It is the Mum, dad, two adult sons , three daughters Abd the one of the adults son is married with two Young kids. They also own the next door house which they rent out to tenants. The dad has a taxi, his adult son has a car, And his other adult son also has a taxi. Then they have cousins who also have cars. The adult son has parked in front of our house . It’s been three months. The dad has parked it to my next door neighbours who dont own a car but when the husband comes from another city , he does have a car. The issue is this family already have three cars in the street, and then they have their cousins cars which are another 2 or 3 parked on the street. I know anyone can legally park On the road . But does this also apply for taxis. This family are very inconsiderate. The two sons are also drug dealers . We can’t ask them as we don’t know how they will react. But can anything be done about the taxis being parked on the street. The dad And his adult son have left their cars parked and looks like they’ve gone abroad. The other adult son is here And he does have a spare set of car keys. Anyone got any suggestions to help me ?

We only have the one car .
I do not have a car.

& then described how a household that lives opposite OP (seemingly not near OP's parents) have a lot of cars on the road.

I got lost. Maybe a diagram would help. Grin Or some Gin

Diagram please Confused

If your parents or brother or you or someone else (not really sure who you are saying has an issue with "ones" shopping bags) are really genuinely physically unable to walk small distances with their bags then they presumably have a blue badge and can apply for a disabled bay to be put in outside their house. If they / you / who ever you are on about actually can physically do it but it's just a slight inconvenience then YABU.

People on mumsnet are often a bit thick about parking. The confusion they have is between what people are legally entitled to do and what is considerate to do. It's very inconsiderate to leave a car which you don't use parked on a street where parking is at a premium. It's also inconsiderate to use up the entire road's parking. You are entitled to do it but it's very inconvenient to your neighbours and you shouldn't do it.

Handful of dust.
You have totally hit the nail on the head about the inconsideration. Here is a diagram. The neighbours with the inconsideration have been circled .

It does my head in when people leave their cars parked for months on end near me. Parking is shite though (we only have the one car). I know they're legally allowed to but it still annoys me. I do report those that aren't taxed/insured but the owner just gets a letter asking if they've abandoned it and they just reply no and the car remains. Forever. Ahhhhh.
