Another parking one…

[ponyclub1234]

Parked outside a small business today on a road. There is only enough space outside the business for max 3 cars then the rest of the road has double yellow lines. I could’ve parked much further up after the double yellow lines but I was running late & there are NO signs whatsoever to say this part of the road is privately owned or there are parking restrictions.
I returned later to a note on my windscreen ‘please do not park here again. This is private land for use of the business only. If it happens again we will contact the warden’. If this didn’t make me fuming enough they had moved their huge industrial bin directly in front of my car & their wheely bin on the other side. Luckily a lovely man was passing who offered to help move it with me otherwise I don’t know what I would’ve done.
Checked again. Definitely no signs! Was I in the wrong???

Print that out including the diagram and write to the business owner "Having sought clarity with the council I have received confirmation that the land in question is public highway, not private land. Any properly registered and taxed vehicle can park on public highways if there are no signposted restrictions. Please do not post agressive and untrue notes on the cars of members of the public going about their lawful business. Doing so again would constitute harassment."

This is what I'd do too. Then I'd park there as often as possible because I am a petty minded dick and the wheely bin thing was ridiculous

lol I wish I was brave enough to park there again but I guess their attempts at intimidation have worked & id rather not have the ag.

I will be forwarding an email using the wording suggested above. Thanks so much!
