Inconsiderate parking outside my back gate!, 11th October

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:03:44 +0100
53.518845 -2.504791

Neighbour and his friends are causing me stress as im unable to repair my garden or put my bins out and even use the back gate entrance most times due to his and his mates inconsiderate parking, And respect for others. Left a polite notice on his mates vehicle to please not obstruct and please park better but his mate attempted to throw it back in my yard before the cardboard hitting him in the face. Karma. Its a shared residential alleyway, but the parking, just my gate is being abused. Ive had threats from him/neighbour of smashing my windows after confronting him. But police did nothing. Whats the point. We are polite people but it seems useless in modern society!
