Inconsiderate parking in private driveway area, 29th January

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 12:35:55 +0000
51.953495 -0.261552

There is a shared private driveway with private garages and private parks. It is understood and noted in housing contacts that cars are not to be parked in front of the garages as it limits the space and access for private vehicles to move in and out of the driveway and private parks freely. When our neighbours moved in last year I spoke to them politely and asked them to move their car so that a vehicle could access the park and also informed them that parking their car in front of their garage was not allowed. I asked them in person more than once and have left a kind note on their car twice too when struggling to get in and out. The car is there all day every day and navigating around it several times a day moving in and out of private parking is frustrating. They are choosing to ignore the polite requests to get a permit to park on the road (there is plenty of space) or use their garage.
