Neighbours - what can I do?

I’m in an end terrace house in a cul de sac. There are small car parks either side of my terrace, the other houses in the road either park on the street or on their driveways.

My front door opens directly into the car park nearest to my house.
I’m H1 (house 1). Me and my partner share a car but he mostly uses it as he works full time and I stay home.

H2 (next to me) have 1 car + guests everyday

H3 (adjacent to me) have 2 cars and a campervan

H4 (next to h3) have 1 car + 1 abandoned car that has been there for 8ish years as it still has a tax disc on. Can’t be moved, registered as sorn

There is 5 spaces in the car park.
No outlined spaces to say who can park where.
AIBU to expect my partner to be able to come home from work and park in the car park where our front door is?

Where does your partner park when he can’t get a space in the car park?

@TabithaTittlemouse so on the map, there is a horizontal blue line leading to the right side
that’s an alleyway, if you go through there it leads to the main road which is where he parks and has to walk through in the dark every night.

Is it quite far?
Is it dangerous where you live?

I think it’s clear you have no designated parking space op. As such it is really like saying people shouldn’t park on the road outside your house. You’ve no right to the space and anyone can park there.

my daughter rents, she doesn’t drive, she clarified the parking before signing, because she has visitors who drive ie us, friends etc.

so no you cannot interfere. You don’t have a right and it’s first come first served.

@TabithaTittlemouse low crime, it’s a village full of mostly elderly people. But we share the car, I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking through any alleyway at night

@Anniefrenchfry I’ve said multiple times I have no designated parking space. I’m asking if it’s rude for them to park their 50 different unused cars in a shared car park so the people that live here can’t actually park here

@GloriousGlory I’ve said this whole thread that it’s first come first served, that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t have morals..

Morals? It's a parking space, they're not sleeping with your partner! 😂

TabithaTittlemouse · 07/10/2022 16:48

It’s annoying but Sadly it’s part on living in a community/on an estate.

GloriousGlory · 07/10/2022 16:48

The other people could park outside their house but choose not to, although they do sometimes, will post a diagram when I’m home

You also said this, which isn't the case! They're parked outside their own homes as well as yours as they have additional vehicles.
