Morning all

I have a rather annoying issue with a problem parker round my way and would be really grateful for any advice on getting this idiot to understand!

Basically i live on a new development in a semi detached so parking like many new development sites is limited and most people have 2 cars which is normal for this day and age. Anyway we have an allocated space which we use and either ourselves or our neighbour will park out the front of our house which again is totally fine. But then we have this inconsiderate guy who lives in the flats just round the corner who seems to think its fine to dump his car outside are house and it drives me mad and for the most part i find it dam rude and dis respectful!

Everyone else in the area parks very respectivly apart from this goon. I have left 2 notes on his car now both times asking him to park outside his own house all be it i know he lives in a flat but point of princible, i normally find the note screwed up on my front garden :p

Anyone else ever had issues like this? id love to hear if you have and how you managed to get it sorted. Hopefully he will now learn but i wont hold my breath.

Cheers guys
 
take a breather mate, things like this in life are not really that imporant in the grand scheme of things...........
 
Is the space in front of your house reserved for you only, ie do you have allocated parking and it is private land? If not, tough. You don't own the road. You've 'asked' him to not park there and he has ignored you. Nothing more you can do.
 
While inconsiderate ther isnt nothing you can do about it if his car is taxed, moted and insured. And from his point of view its perfectly legal for him to park there you own your driveway and up to the pavement nothing past that.
 
This is another problem in itself! Trinity Estate Homes are the ones who are meant to look after our site but in the 2 years we have lived here we have never seen them. On the up side though recently one of our neigbours decided to create a facebook page for our development and vent their frustrations about these people not actually carrying out any work on the area. The responce has been good and we now have around 50 people in on it and with a bit of luck and hard work we will give them the finger so to speak :)

Anyway back to the point, parking has been bought up and i have made it known hopefully the goon who keeps dumping his car outside mine may be one of these 50 and i shall let him know just how i feel if indeed he is but i very uch doubt he will be
 
Cheers guys, i understand there is nothing i can actually do as our allocated space is at the rear in a carport. It would just be nice for some people to be respectful when parking there cars thats all i ask and it seems he is the only one around here who dumps his car anywhere he can. The path is quite narrow when i come out of my house and when he parks half on the road curb so to speak there is no way i will be able to get my childs pram out without banging his car where as if its my own car its no problem
 
What do you mean you "bought up" parking? Isn't it a street? I am sure he is not intentionally parking in front of your house as he would rather park outside his house if there was a space.
 
if the guy is parking legally and doesn't have his own allocated space to park then where do you expect him to park?

sounds like you're the one with the problem to be honest.
 
Don't see the problem he's not blocking you in, maybe there isn't enough spaces at the flats, or the spaces are to tight and he likes his car undinged?

Also unless he's blocking road access council/factors can't do anything.

He could just park on the road/curb around by the flats where he would not be in anyones way? Or alongside a wall like most other people do. I dont mean to come across as an arse but to me i just find it a little rude but like you say its a public street i guess

Did the note say: 'This is are space'?

No it didnt as i no its not "actually" a space i just said "dont park outside my house park outside your own" I did say "Please" first time round though i will add :)
 
I guess everyone is right with it being a public street but just thought id ask the question.

Thanks for all the info and input guys much appreciated
 
If it's a busy street and there aren't many spaces then people just have to park wherever there is space. However if the street is fairly empty and he still parks in front of your house then he's a tool but there's nothing you can do, putting a note on his car may now make him deliberately park his car there to wind you up, some people are like that.
