repercussions of the drop kerb
well they tried to park on the tiny bit that isn't, next to my left hand
neighbour (they are the right hand ones) and it interferes with her getting her car out. Well, she went ape****. Let's just say she told them very firmly not to park there, and never to even put one millimetre of their car over my drop kerb because it was illegal, but to park in front of their own house. Always. That worked really well! And I never had to say a word. But I will have to, quite soon. About get the end of your wall out of my garden. I thought I would wait a month, but I will probably do it sooner. I will wait until I see her outside and say "can I have a word about the wall?" She will be expecting I will agree to their 6ft 6 inch wall in front of my window when I say this but I will be saying "get every inch of your wall out of my garden within a month or see me in court." They made a big mistake, trying to block me in to make me agree to their wall. No way Jose. It made me even more determined. Tweed |

Tweed In my part of the world, you can't park within 3 FEET (about a meter) of a driveway apron (drop kerb). I used to have trouble with my neighbors parking so close (illegally close) to my driveway that I had a hard time getting out of my driveway. They parked two FEET past the end of the drop kerb (2 feet INTO my driveway, so 5 feet too close) during a snowstorm once, and I BURIED their car in snow. You couldn't even see the car; just a HUGE pile of snow. I even packed snow under the car. They called the Police to complain about what I did to their car, and the cop put a parking ticket on THEIR CAR, because it was illegally parked. The cop had to dig a hole through the snow to attach it to the windshield wiper LOL. I had called the Police at least a dozen times, to complain about the car, or cars, that made it nearly impossible to get out of my driveway, and they NEVER came. I guess they wanted to see the buried car. I did do a VERY thorough job. Hee hee. |

If it's a quiet residential neighborhood, you may not have a lot of cops patrolling the area, but a few phone calls to draw police attention will generally do the trick. They've got the idea about the drop kerb stopping them forcing me to let them build their wall. The difficult thing will be "demolish the part of your wall that is trespassing over into my garden" However, I will attempt to win this. They have enraged me about this, by being so confident that they already built part of it on my land. It's outrageous and I intend to make them take it down to within their boundary.. whether to ask firmly or skip this part and go legal I haven't decided. They are very unlikely to win as their house was once part of a larger plot and I still have the fence going down my garden past theirs that has been there for 25+ years and they are over the boundary by nearly 3 feet. I do know why they tried it. They cannot get a car down to their garage, and neither can they get to the side of it if it need repairs. As they said, when I wanted to get my car out "bad luck you're having now!" Am I bad to say the same? |

However, it doesn't seem like a wise thing to do. As you've said, you want to come out looking like the reasonable, civilized party in this conflict. So I guess that means biting your tongue when it's so tempting to throw it right back in their faces. But you're free to think that thought as much as you like. -- Joyce A clean house is a sign of a broken computer. |

There are two things that they can do. get the f/k your wall out of my garden or go to court. I'm sick of them. They made me pay so much money for my drop kerb. Bad idea. I never will be forced by anyone who thinks they might have more money than me / And that's what they are relying on. Pfff. Like I am afraid of them. No. I think not. Tweed |
