NDN using our allocated parking space, not their own!

[NDNUsingOurAllocatedParking]

Our neighbours have started using our allocated parking space instead of their own allocated parking space.

We've spoken to them but they have continued. The view of their space is not a clear line of vision.

What to do next???

I’d be knocking everytime or just sit there beeping. Other neighbours will understand if you let them know in advance why you are doing it.

Take photographs document timings. See a solicitor, take them to court and reclaim expenses from them. They have their house as an asset.

I have had to out something in my morning space as a “this is mine back off” for the same reason. If I get back and they were parked there I wound just block them in.

That means the CF neighbour wins - that’s what they want - op to just go oh well they can have our superior car bay!!! It’s selfish and rude

What do they do sit and watch their car?!?

Bollards or block them in every time

Put bird seed on their roof!

Or you could be reasonable and just use a bollard like everyone has suggested.

These neighbours are so entitled. Block your space when they go out next. Or install a security bollard. Why do they need a clear line of vision? Is their car very expensive? If it is, they could get some dash and rear cameras installed and move back to their own space. And tell the other neighbours what these people are doing.

If you have been on here since the dawn of Pom Bears and Lemon Drizzle Cake Gate, you most know how to deal with this issue.

Rugby team solves all.

You could try mediation or could you block their car in. If they have to approach you and ask you to move your car every time they need to leave, it may take the shine off your space.

😂😂😂

This.
When you need to park and their car is in your space, then park in their parking space.

Is it a new or relatively new build? If so, can you download the conveyancing map, which will show allocated parking and how much there is for each property.

Folding bollards aren’t even that expensive!

Or just ring on their door every time they are in your space.

A large piece of plain wallpaper on which you write ‘ please do not park in my space’, then liberally spread with paste and placed over the drivers’ side of the windscreen. Rinse and repeat until they stop. I’m guessing after they’ve had to take a scraper to the windscreen one or twice they’ll get the message.

Yes, we all love a diagram. But do we really need one? NDN cannot see their space from their window, so have taken it upon themselves to use OP’s instead.

@NDNUsingOurAllocatedParking what did they say when you asked them to stop?

YABVU - there are any solutions to this problem.

Your only possible next step is a penguin bollard

Private parking sign with your house number on it and penguin bollard
or get some burly men with a van and tow cheeky neighbour’s car away.

I had this issue with my neighbours MIL. I’d arrive home, and she’d be in my spot for “a few minutes “. I just parked behind her ( I could only assume she wanted to visit me) then when she needed out, I just yelled that I’m on a call and would be “a few minutes “. I took my time, she didn’t do it again.

Can you get the space run by parking eye? It will tie them up in paperwork for months 😀

No, this gives them what they want by default and doesn't make life awkward or unpleasant for them, so what's the point?

Knock on their door and ask them to move it, surely? Every single time.

OP mentioned earlier that hers is a better space and that’s why the neighbour likes to use it.

What is ‘the visitor loophole’ that you think they are exploiting?

Bollards. It's the only option. We had to do this with our work parking.
