And he got away with it
I have no right of way to my driveway as there isn't a dropped kerb, pensioners bungalows all the same here as they were built in the forties, the guy parks his car where he likes as he says that I'm breaking the law driving over the kerb. Plenty of room to park and I have never said anything to him except when he parked in front of me as I was getting in the car, he said do you want to get out and I replied yes please, he then started to rant aggressively about the law regarding kerbs. I just stood there amazed and put it down to his having a bad day, ever since then he goes out of his way to make sure I can't get out even if the road is clear either side which it always is at least one side.
Nothing I can do
As DD you should park there instead
Over six grand for dropped kerb, they have to drop kerb and lay 25 feet of tarmac up to my gate
When I was buildering a kerb needed dropping, asked council and the response was "competent person/builder
" we did it they only charged for the good tarmac later So worth asking your local builder buddy to do the kerb and prep, so you only pay for the good tarmac. Being careful you wouldn't disturb the road.Some neighbor's are ****s
why????Worth asking on here as there are loads of builderer types who are up with the can do/ cant dos

Bit of an inconvenience I know but you can move yours onto the drive just before you go to bed. Don't do it at the same time every evening - sometimes early, sometimes late and about once a month, very late. Just keep him inconvenienced by having to keep checking what's happening outside if he is determined to park there.

Perhaps the son who treats her as a soft touch can get through to her? It could be in his own interests.She's an ex RGN and theatre Sister so she's not unaware of the possibilities. I am fighting a losing battle.

I'd rather not cause trouble, he's a young aggressive six footer, I haven't spoken to him more than to say yes please mate when he asked if I wanted to get out. This was soon after he moved in, he told me I was breaking the law then he got in his car and wheelspun across the road when all he had to do was reverse a few feet.. There's a bus stop in front of his flat, though there is a parking area round the back, can't understand why he want's to make my life difficult, every one else round here are ok

Some people are just naturally c*nts.
Agreed, not going to let it bother me, I'll drive along the pavement and get out further along, if only I was thirty years younger

If you are obstructed from accessing your own drive then you can take out proceedings. Nothing to do with the kerb being dropped or not. Important to put up a sign in a relevant place saying "do not obstruct", so the person knows they are not supposed to be there. A couple of those mini kerb ramps would also mark it as an access point.
Be really polite and friendly every time you talk to the guy.
Also, to threaten someone in whatever way is an offence and you can report it to the police.
If it was me, I would report it to the police EVERY TIME they park there and eventually the police will work out that it is easier to do something about it rather than put up with your badgering. Print out a copy of each letter you send to the police and stick it under a***holes windscreen wiper. Do mention in the relevant letter, any threats you receive.

Or you could change your insurance to allow you to park on the street. I doubt it'd cost much more. Even if just for a while.Bit of an inconvenience I know but you can move yours onto the drive just before you go to bed.

I am on the case.
She has been told that being in "wilful denial" is not the correct response and that after 11 days and she needs to take action.
She's nodding and agreeing and scouring Google for some self-diagnosis more toward "What it is not" than what it is.
She's an adult, she knows she cannot avoid forever. There's no fever, no unusual gut or UTI activity, none of the kidney-stone type symptoms.
I have suggested a good shot of Ralgex on the affectd area to see if its a muscle tear under all that "cuddles". But she's been popping pain-killers for nearly 2 weeks.
Start asking if her will is up to date and is she sure you are main beneficiary.
Also, ask whether she wants cremation or burial and what flowers she wants at the service.

If you apply to the council to place a "dropped kerb" of your own accessing your property and have it installed, then your neighbour has to NOT PARK THERE, because you paid to have one.And he got away with it
I have no right of way to my driveway as there isn't a dropped kerb, pensioners bungalows all the same here as they were built in the forties, the guy parks his car where he likes as he says that I'm breaking the law driving over the kerb.

I just stood there amazed and put it down to his having a bad day, ever since then he goes out of his way to make sure I can't get out even if the road is clear either side which it always is at least one side.
Nothing I can do
It isn't free, we all have to pay for our dropped kerb, but once done you have a right of way.
