Neighbours want to close road for party - can I still drive on it?

^^^ I don't think there is a single other user on this forum that I could be less excited to see a post by then the one above. Achieved in such a quick bit of time. Impressive.



I only just got back, still jet lagged from the last one :p

I'd consider it anyway. If the closure is going to stop you going to and from your house, I'd load up my above average price car and stay somewhere for a few days.

The alternatives seem to be cancelling your kayaking plans or disrupting the plans of your neighbours.

Why should he have to though? You can't just decide to close a road down like that lmao.

OP when they raised this with you / partner what did you say? If you objected to it then, then fair enough but if you didnt then well...

first i heard of it was other day. we've been away for most of may on a higher than average holiday so maybe they came knocking then. all i know was other day when partner said they plan to close it over jubilee.

it is weird that you're allowed to close a road. close half of it sure, then keep the rest clear, that sounds reasonable to me, but closing the whole road, of a cul de sac, not like we get any through traffic, so all that happens is it stops residents from accessing their drive.
 
Normally exceptions for residents when road closures happen, obviously the party/tables might be out for a few hours in which case you're going to have to allow for that but I doubt they're going to keep all their tables and chairs out all night, people with kids no doubt will go home, the older folk will probs take their plates, tables etc.. away so you'd have far fewer people to worry about.

I'd just go and talk to them, you should probably be able to work something out for getting your car out or in outside of the (relatively brief) few hours where they're all going to be out with the tables.

The road isn't closed per se, there's a prohibition of traffic for safety. Access still has to be provided for emergency vehicles etc.

Anyway, if you take this up with the neighbours hopefully the resulting video gets a higher than average number of views on YouTube.

IF you've known about it and not said anything then why not? Do you need your higher then average wife to do it for you ?

If someone decided to close my road, without permission, then id be telling them to well not close it. If they've been around to local residents and got opinions and well you havent objected then you'll have to swallow it.

Not point? If you wanna throw an insult then at least check your post. Secondly, if you have an issue with it stop hiding behind wifey. Not everyone has the time to read a 100 post thread.

"Maybe they came knocking when we were on holiday" Well your "partner" knew about it didnt they so obviously not. Maybe check my posting history before gunning for me as youll find more often then not Id agree with you.

You have every right To be able to access your own property with your vehicle regardless of street parties. Surely ? Just drive around ?

If the appropriate order has been obtained the road is closed and vehicles are prohibited from using it except in very limited circumstances, emergeny vehicles for example.
