It's annoying how territorial some people become. We bought our house last year, and a prerequisite was a double driveway because we both have a car. The driveway is listed as our property on the house paperwork.
A neighbour advised me the the other 2 spaces next to our garden are "guest spaces" and we each own one, and if another neighbour parks there we've the right to ask them to move. This is utter rubbish, there's no mention of a guest space on our paperwork and, looking at the building line along which the cul de sac is built, the spaces were clearly put there to accommodate the two opposite houses which have no driveway.
When we have a visitor, rather when visitors were permitted, I'd move one of our cars round the corner into a communal parking area so our visitor can just park at the house. Nearly every time I do this, the neighbour comes out and urges me to tell the other neighbour to move. When I voiced my own thoughts about ownership, the next day she got a tin of paint out and painted her house number on two of the communal spaces!
They're friendly people but there's a very small, close knit group of neighbours that form a clique which I don't want to be part of, neither does my OH.
