General Chat

The garage in question belonged to my sister who died at the end of March.

One of her neighbours regularly parks across the door but he had probably thought it was okay as my sister did not have a car.

He knows she had died and that we are trying to clear the house and garage but still is doing it.

Is there any part of the law that I can quote to get him to stop doing it.

Trying not to fall out with him but told him on Friday that I need to get into the garage and he was still parked there on Saturday.

How inconsiderate after being told that you needed access. Not sure where you stand with the law but perhaps you need to have a word with the local PCSO

That was what I thinking of doing.

If I have to call a tow truck then I would do it but not sure if I am entitled to do that.

Just being helpful..............

:-D :-D

GlitterBaby, could you not park your car so that this persons car is then blocked and he would have to ask you to move your car to enable him to drive away? It would be interesting seeing his reaction and it might just make him a little more thoughtful in the future.

Thank you Mr Magoo but sadly not quite the same problem but useful sites. .

Spoke to the Police who say if private property then I could get a tow truck.

Been given two numbers for the local community support officers but been told if I can not get hold of them then to dial 101.

I do not want to fall out with the neighbours as I would have to give that information on the sellers form when we sell the house.

Oh well hopefully he should have moved the car when we go over tomorrow

Thanks,

Maureen

I do not have a car otherwise that is what I would have done but then I would be blocking in the next garage.

Left a note on the windscreen on Saturday which will probably annoy him.

His partner parks over the "Keep Clear" markings on the access to the block of garages.

Looks like a good place to heap stuff from the flat that you are getting rid of when he is not there.

I bet you could be ever so clumsy with those garage doors when you are trying to open them.

Are the flats/garages rented? He could well be in breach of his agreement there which might interest the landlord.

The easiest thing would be to knock and ask him to move it when you need access.
If you have his phone no, could you give him a ring when you know you're going over there?

Talk to the man .tell him you need access at all times politely or..contact cab they might help & give you info as to your rights, sorry you have this to contend with this as you have lost your sister .you have enough to do .we lived near a school in a cul-de-sac,.cars parked across our drive .couldn't get back.on when I got home from work, so a neighbour left his car across my drive & moved when I got home .just wondered if you have someone maybe leave their car so gent in question cant block entrance ?

They are private owned houses with the garages in a block in front of the houses. He is parking across the next garage but the back of the car is blocking the door of my sisters garage, Would not be able to open the door more than a couple of feet without hitting his car and I am not gong to crawl under the door to get in.

He knows we need access to the garage as Mum and I are trying to clear the contents so I should not have to knock on his door. .

Also think it is him that is putting rubbish in the bin.

I had never meet this bloke until my sister died so no real idea if they were okay or not.

Or perhaps a polite notice "Please do not park in front of these doors, access required"

:-)

Mum and I have introduced ourselves to both of them.

There is a limit to the number of times I tell someone what is going on.

Think he is just being difficult. A typical man really.

It must be obvious that we would need access to the garage given the circumstances.


Maureen

Did that on Saturday Stella after telling him we need access this week when I saw him on Friday.

Just as well Mum is coming with me on Monday as she might help me to keep calm about it.

Well whatever you have to do GB when you sell the house and they ask the question re disputes with neighbours, as you didn't live there you could plead ignorance and just say not to your knowledge. The question would be re dispute between your sister and neighbours.

Problem is that I think my sister did not get on with her neighbours but not sure which ones.

Whether she got on with them or not, this man is being very arrogant in his behaviour towards you... i'll bet his wife has a lot to put up with..and i can see why he would be a bad neighbour to have..

I would put a tack in his tyres all of them :-D :-D

My thoughts are if the garage goes with the house then the neighbour has no right to park across it, regardless of whether the person to whom it belongs has a car or not!

IF the house was or is to be sold the garage surely would be part of the house sale & new owners are not going to be too happy about not being able to access the garage just because this neighbour has done so previously!
He needs a serious talking to, in my opinion.

Joy.... my thoughts entirely

i just dare not say it...lol :-D :-D :-D
