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???

So many questions, and minimal answers!

So ‘outing’ means that someone will recognise you and your previous posts will be searchable.

In this case, you’ve name changed.

There’s nothing to out.

Are you just bored on this hot day?

What was Lemon Drizzle Cake Gate if it’s not too derailing. I remember ‘just take the cunting quiche Patricia’. That was an epic.

Get a bollard and then only park in their allocated space. CFs!

The simple, straightforward solution is for you to get a huge car-sized block made out of completely transparent heavy-duty perspex, and 'park' it in your own space.

Just the same as when birds fly into windows that are so clean that they can't see them, and are thoroughly puzzled when they bash their bonces, your neighbours will think the space is free for them to steal, merrily pull in and then be amazed (and paranoid) when they crash into 'fresh air' and damage their car.

If they mention anything about the phenomenon to them, just tell them in hushed tones about your great great grandma who had ongoing parking disputes with CF neighbours when she lived there, and she vowed to haunt them and guard her space for all eternity. She was 6'6", 25 stone and had a very powerful punch on her, which she wasn't afraid to use on anybody or anything that crossed her.

Or you could go for the ‘Glasgow Halloween’* option, and leave what looks like a body wrapped in bin bags in the space while you’re out?

• no shade on Glasgow but I saw three of these in three separate front gardens one Halloween, and they all looked disturbingly realistic.

Some of them probably were bodies. What better way to dispose of someone than to leave them in your front garden at Halloween and then casually sling them in your wheelie bin on 1st November? Might file this nugget of info for later 😉

I'd check legal cover on your home insurance. Check your deeds on the property and right of access information and proceed with a legal threat of trespass.

I saw a video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago from a bloke in the USA who was sick of his entitled neighbour parking on his driveway. She disputed that the land was his even though he had the deeds to prove it and insisted on parking there. In the end he organised a building contractor and materials, and the next time she pulled up on his driveway he waited until she’d left the car and got the contractor to build a breeze block wall around it. The scene on her return was hilarious.

Why don't you just park in their space?

I agree. Come on, OP, no one can answer meaningfully without these pieces of info.

Penguin bollard or chain lock

Oh man

erve had issues with this. Basically there’s nothing you can do. Unless they restrict your entry to the highway.

who owns the road?

I got my MP involved and still not much farther. We have parking so bad it would restrict emergency vehicles and still no one seems to care.

the other day someone blocked the entire estate in. We have one way in and one way out and it blocked off 24 hours from getting out for 20 mins. When I stated that if a cat 1 ambulance went out which is roughly an 8 mins response for an infant in cardiac arrest that it could change the outcome of the call they still didn’t care…..

Ruthless people like that would laugh at a cone. They would either move it or chuck it aside. They're steamrolling over her because they think they can. In her case, I'd be spending on a bollard.

They’ll be breaking the law

you cannot restrict someone’s access to the highway. You can however block your own drive! So they can’t get in there. But don’t block them in if it means they cannot access the highway as that’s breaking the law

Despite your indifference to the rules re. diagram, I cast my vote of bollard. Painful for you, but they won't be able to use your space

They've only recently been trying this on. Other spaces may be available but they appear to favour mine.

Revealing dialogue, like a diagram, would be outing. I'm not Mrs Burnham but there is a cute pet on the scene @hamnish

I had overlooked their other conduct but, yes, they seem to do what suits them in other regards too.

Oooh, lemon drizzle cake!

The reason I would warn then before installing a bollard is because a bollard is a pain in the arse to use and I would hope the warning would be enough.

I don’t understand why clear line of vision is advantageous? I may be heat addled though…

Having googled a bit, it seems the original thread might have been deleted at some point, but this is a summary. If you’re feeling detective-ish, google Mumsnet lemon drizzle wanker.

So have they just said an outright no, when you asked them to stop doing it. Can you go and knock on the door every time they park there and ask them to move? Or can you block them in?

Go and ask them to move their car immediately. Every single time.
The more outrageous the time the better
3am on a wednesday? YUP

6am sunday morning YUP
knock knock knock until they answer and move the car.

How can a diagram be outing if you draw it yourself? Leave the "outing" bits out or change slightly

Sorry have only read your replies. Can you park in their space?

Put a bin in your parking space that's what an old neighbour of ours used to do. They will have no choice but to park in the correct space. If it's a social housing property you can make a complaint to their housing association.

Why even bring it to mumsnet if there’s no diagram?
