Okay. This is just hypothetical. I wont even think of doing this....maybe? So I live in a council flat in our lovely village. We have been living here for nearly 2 years with very little problems with parking. There has always been available parking spaces during the busy summer months when events take place in the village on a weekly basis but there are the odd 'Please dont park here' notes given. However, last month, the large parking lot over the road which used to be free is now going to start charging people for parking. It's privately owned and the prices are sky high. Its been implemented because many people from around the area use it as a drive and drop off rather than for accessing the retail shops in the village. Now, we have a Resident Only Parking which is shared with resident visitors however, since the news of the new parking charges, people have been using our car park to avoid using the parking lot across the road. This will get worse in the summer time. Now, Ive had several instances where a car I do not recognise have parked at our resident car park during the general working hours and they keep coming back. Its inconvenient because I have no parking space for my car when I come back from running errands and its incredibly troublesome when you have a toddler to manage and adding on carrying groceries and other heavy bulk items. That parking space is part of my rental contract and I find it unfair that I am paying additional fees for parking when I am not even guaranteed it. I have already asked our housing provider to put up more signs and they have arranged for someone to do so but I am SO tempted to just slash the tyres of these cars who arent supposed to be parked there. Hypothetically, what can the police do to me if the owner of the driver accuses me of vandalism without proof? Im a wimp so I dont think I am capable of doing this, just to let you know...😂
