I live on a house estate near and airport. We have parking problems everywhere.
For a few weeks we have been getting people parking in our private off road parking spaces for days/weeks on end. A neighbour confronted one of them and they said they had paid for the space via Just Park. Got in their taxi to the airport and left. My immediate neighbours denied all involvement so I reported the most recent one to Just Park and they told me it’s a house way up the street nowhere near me. They say they are going to ask the seller to prove they own the space. But I really don’t think they give a shit, it’s all just profit for them. Anyone could say they own anything and get a listing on their site from what I can see.
Now once as a one off I would give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe having a crap listing that doesn’t explain the parking but this is the third time and they haven’t noticed the buyer doesn’t park in their sold space? So I think they are selling space that doesn’t belong to them. They are making £30+ I am making nothing and having no parking spaces for days on end.
I considered posting on the local Facebook group but this seems petty? I’m not sure whether to go round and confront them, or leave a note or just leave it up to Just Park? Just park say they are investigating the issue and will ask of proof of ownership from the seller.
I don’t know where I stand with this, I am considering one of those fixed locking bollards however as it’s a shared hard standing space (with allocated parking spaces) I doubt I have permission to install these, and who would I even ask? I don’t think the council own the parking and the developers handed it back a long time ago.
AIBU to be FUMING and has anyone come across this before?
