Driveway being obstructed

[sanden]

This is driving me mad. The road I live in is fairly narrow and I am constantly having vehicles parked opposite my drive, which makes it really awkward for me to get in and out of my driveway. The people opposite have more vehicles that residents and therefore parking is a problem, their vehicles usually 'spread' across 4 houses, but it is only my drive that is affected. My neighbour has asked that they do not park large vans outside his house as it obstructs his view when he is trying to get out of his drive, and I and visitors to my house have had to ask for a vehicle to be moved in order to get out the drive. Trouble is they just carry on parking in this inconsiderate way - so is there anything I can do about it! Sorry to go on.

Go to your highway agency (normally found at your local council), tell them that due to the way others park, it makes it extremely difficult to enter/exit your own property. They will advise you over what to do and could paint an enforcement sign on the road outside your drive to stop this. My mum had the same problem, and although it doesnt stop everybody doing this, she now can call the poice and have the offending vehicle removed.

Thanks for your help. I really dont want to cause problems with these neighbours, but do feel at the end of my tether. I probably couldnt get out of my drive now if I needed to go out. I will make enquiries tomorrow. Cheers ccfluff.
