Hi, I am having a problem with parking outside my house. All parking spaces are are the land registry and owned privately. They are just as much our land as our back gardens.
The cul-de-sac where I live has a very odd layout where Neighbor Ones parking spaces is in-front of my front door, the other in in-front of their door, so 2 cars would go bumper to boot. My spaces are the other side of theirs and Neighbor Twos are next to mine (2 by 3 parking spaces). The access to these spaces consists of a straight meter of tarmac going along my front garden (and therefore living room window) and then a curved property line to avoid Neighbor Twos front garden and then an open space to get in and out of the cul-de-sac parking area.
This space is not a parking space. You have to drive over it to get to all 3 properties parking spaces. However, Neighbor ones guests insist on parking diagonally on it ( as its too small to park straight because of the curve of the front gardens) Completely blocking my space and partially blocking Neighbor Twos. This happens all the time.
I don't care that my door is by their space, its easy enough to get around but when they add that third car, Its very difficult to squeeze round to get in and out of my own house. If I still used my pram I couldn't do it at all.
It also means that it blocks light coming into my living room window as there's about 2 meters between the window and the garden edge. So I look out and all I see is metal.
As they aren't actually (for the most part) on my property and there are no road markings saying they can't park there - I am unsure what to do. I have asked them not to do it but to no avail.
Anyone have any knowledge or advice?
