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

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.
I think this needs bumping :p . It's a tricky one, I think we're having a street bbq this weekend or next weekend and we also live down a cul-de-sac, however the guy organising it dies it infront of his house, at the end of the 'sac so it doesn't really affect access. Can they not just have tables to only take one side of the road, or set up in the turning circle (assuming all cul-de-sacs have one).
 
Apparently not
Right but you've clearly been informed about this beforehand and haven't objected so what's your issue?

apparently not what? :p if the road/street's closed then as said it should'nt be a surprise, unless Cilla Black is involved
Exactly. The guys been advised it will be closed, has days notice and yet the first thing he does is come on here lmao.

I thought he said they were away when the discussions/consultation took place, have come back and then heard it's going ahead? That's how I read it anyway. So yes, informed, but not consulted. The discussion is now around whether to object.
 
Post signs up saying you have Monkeypox and everyone should be vigilant. Nobody will wanna come to the party, nor touch anything.

Some users like to just tell you what you've done without asking first. It's a weird thing that some do. Imagine, rather than asking, he's just told me how it is for me.

Any way, others have clarified what I mainly needed to know, which is that a street closure can only be a one off thing, and for a short while, not the full day time hours and not for all 4 days so whenever the closure happens, I can likely work around it.

That's not to say the people on this cul de sac won't just do it every day regardless, as something I've discovered living in a culdesac is that residents think they own the road and do whatever the tribe wants, but at least then they can't legally block the road so access should be possible.
 
Worst case if you need to go out and they are blocking set fire to one of the neighbours houses and call the fire brigade
When they clear the tables out the way you can make a run for it dart for the gap in your greater than average priced car*

*I am just wondering if this is based on new selling prices, or all cars sold.
Also intrigued how one would know what the average is, never seen it published.
Does it take into account extras, actual price or list price etc.
Very much a how long is a piece of string type statement IMO

If you had objected to it you would have said in your post. Your partner knew about it, you now know about it and rather then do something about it youve come on here for others opinions lmao. I cant even tell if your account is a parody at this point tbh.
 
youve come on here for others opinions
And got them really quickly and solved the problem/answered the question I needed answering, quicker and easier, all from the comfort of my gold toilet.

What a sad person you are to keep coming back. Can't stay away, can't stop making digs and having a go.

Hopefully your partner doesn't have to deal with you too much as it's really rather sad.

It's based on what the average person I see buys, it's higher priced than theirs, and I've bought mine out right without having to take any finance/loan :)

It's a curse though. I'm not a fan of having something expensive to worry about
 
My guess here, since Apex won't confirm, is that it's just the neighbors getting together and doing it themselves. They will have no issue getting in and other than moving cones or whatever.

Curious if he will be attending the fun at any point, and if not, why not?

Best time of our lives was living with neighbors we could just walk into each others houses etc. We had impromptu parties and had a lot of fun and laughs. Was great. (On Dartmoor in a village that had some terraced houses).

He's probably not invited, i cant think why lol. Just comes across as someone who thinks they are above everyone else yet doesnt have a spine.

jesus. you're rather dim. this is my thread, with people helping and posting in it in reply to my question. so i come back and reply to those.

is there another monkey that can post for your account as this one is broken?

He's probably not invited
what a loser to write that...

i cant think why lol
wow the wit on you is outstanding. what a post. would read again. 10/10

i'm back from a holiday just a few days ago. i have a 4 day weekend. i intend, to see friends by going biking, kayaking, having big bbqs, seeing family, and also getting house work done :)

of course we were invited, it's how my partner knew, i believe from an invitation she found through the door, or from speaking to them idk. not that it's relevant to anyone other than the parent disappointer known as omnonomom

As a neutral here, you do seem to be the one struggling with the situation. The decision was made without consultation as he was away, he's now heard about this decision and is asking what his best course of action is. I wouldn't say it's overly complicated either?
