Sent off the forms for the drop kerb today. A surveyor will come out, have
a look and hopefully agree it. It's going to cost a whole lot of money, but it will be worth it. If I look outside now, I know my nice new neighbour is blocking me in, even if they have only one car there, they do it. When I get my own drop kerb - three months probably - in front of my own house, they will be fined if they do this. I can get the police to give them a ticket (25 quid) or tow their car away and it costs hundreds to get it back. I'll go for the towing option, as last time I went round to ask them to move their car so I could get out they shouted at me, and if I responded in kind this would be a breach of the peace. It's so sad. The kerb was meant to be shared as it always has been. No worries, I'll get my own, but it is still a concern as what will they do next? |

If you were reasonably handy with hand tools, I could make some suggestions to keep this idiot neighbor busy. |

I live on the west side of London and we have trouble with parking spaces especially near schools I have room for a parking space in my front garden and I would have to pay for the dropped kerb and also to have a parking area paved or concreted but it would be worth having it done.

... Sent off the forms for the drop kerb today. A surveyor will come out, have a look and hopefully agree it. By coincidence - I hope G - there was a story, with video, on yesterday evening's news about a huge fight among neighbors which started because someone blocked their neighbor's half of a shared driveway. Six people were arrested, and three were taken to the hospital. Joy |

Well, I'm sorry, but you won't be allowed concrete. New hard standings for vehicles must comply with 'SUDS' - Sustainable Drainage Systems. New surfaces must be porous, such as permeable block paving, or plastic grids infilled with ballast, or something known as "GrassCrete". -- MatSav |

Good luck to you! Jay Thanks. They have a builder in all day doing stuff in the yard and he parks over the "shared" drop kerb all day and when the owner comes home she makes sure she does that too. There's a whole road to park in, just yards parking their car away would enable me to get out. They parked over my neighbours drop kerb yesterday. She couldn't get her car into her drive when she came home from work. She was not best pleased, they seem to be doing all they can to be unpopular here. Tweed |
