People who think they own the space outside their houses are 
s. It's a public road. Buy your own land if you don't like it.
What if they cannot afford to live anywhere else so buying more land isn't an option. s. It's a public road. Buy your own land if you don't like it.t. Like someone has said earlier, if the homeowner contacts the council and has some restrictions applied to the road in the form of lines or whatever then for all intents and purposes he will own the land, but until then he can stop being a flap.Jonathan27 said:

I know there's no law against it, but, you know, politeness and all.Any by your logic when you moved house last year ( Recommend a petrol strimmer) you knew you were going to get the train so should have moved to a house near a station...
And is the cost or parking really that bad - 83 quid a month when you apparently pay 3k a month tax...
Why not compromise - park 15 mins away from the station - an uncongested street where you aren't a problem and a nice walk to help with those restless legs.

On that basis, there is nothing wrong with blocking the car in.
The other two would have been parked legally, so tough st.
There's never going to be a winner but there will always be an abundance of Internet hard men
That's two different things. One is blocking a car and one is parking where entitled The other two would have been parked legally, so tough s

Them tough stSo what happens if that last street becomes resident parking only yet tere is not enough parking at the station nor can there be due to physical space what then? Tough s
t. Would you park your P&J in front of that house te OP mentions after the confrontation? Come back few k's worth of damage no witnesses no proof result you lose out

I once had a neighbour who'd leave barely legal pieces of crap outside my house for months on end. While totally legal it was the height of bad manners.
I was trying to sell the property and the feedback I was getting was that who in their right mind would buy a house with an ancient Bedford Maxi van full of crap seemingly dumped out side it.
After failing to reason with the owner I towed it out into the middle of the street blocking it entirely, slashed its tyres and broke into it stealing the tax disc. The council then promptly disposed of it.
What I did was a really bad thing that I'm not proud of but when some arrogant, self entitled is going to treat another humans needs with total disregard then he deserves all that's coming to him.

I'm having a house built ATM and my builders obviously park outside people's homes (all have drives with plenty of parking) but I can see it's annoying having vans parked outside all day.
Recently 2 other houses are having building work done and some of them park outside my house making it hard to get delivery lorries (with crane off load) in.
It's just tough - this is a crowded island.
In your case I'd try to find somewhere else to park - it isn't worth the hassle

Another vote for just parking somewhere else.
They've got you marked there and you and your car are clearly unwelcome and for sound reason. Legalities don't really stand for much when you're hated and they're in a better position to do something about it than you are.
Your tyres will be slashed and the paint ruined, and since all his neighbours probably hate your guts as much as he does, you can rest assured he has an alibi and nobody saw a thing. If you try to take petty revenge because you think knowing where he lives is an ace up your sleeve, you're more likely to be dragged round the back by 4 of them and kicked senseless because if they're as chavvy as you say they will also be quicker to get violent.
Just swallow your c*ck and dump your car somewhere that isn't annoying everyone.

I remember moving out of a house when I was younger. Located in Bristol, close to Horfield Prison.
The prison officers used to jam up the local parking. Was a pain the the butt.
When I was moving out no-where near to park. So I double parked.
Mr stupid Prison officer looked down the road, ignored the fact it was blocked, with flashers on and proceeded to drive up behind my car.
He was really not very happy when I ignored for for a few loading trips. All he had to do was go to the next street.
I'm not sure where I stand with the OP. I think ultimately someone should be looking at the problem and building a car park for commuters...

There is street around the corner form the local train station, this street has no parking restrictions, so as its a choice between a £1k annual permit at the station, or a two minute walk, this street is poplar with commuters for parking. I know this must be frustrating for residents, but this has been the case for years, so it's not like they didn't know when they moved in.
And you knew when you moved where you moved and/or accepted the job you did that you'd be parking outside someone else's house.He's still an ar*e but so are you.
This I think highlights the fundamental problem in the UK;
Home owner without a drive?
1. Where does the council expect them to park or are they not allowed to park?
Solution: All front gardens MUST be converted to a drive, and if there is insufficient space the council must force a compulsory purchase of the pavement/land to facilitate that or force the conversion of part of the rear garden.
Additionally, the residents of crowded towns must be forced to pay extra tax to fund the compulsory purchase and demolition of every 10th house on the street for additional parking for residents.
2. Should new builds and houses have 1 parking space
NO, a minimum of 1 space per adult, so a 1bed flat needs 2 spaces. So all flats must be built with a parking system utilising underground space with car lifts.
All houses must have 1.5 spaces per adult and again undercroft spaces are to be mandated to preserve the gardens.
3. Should Railyway companies/shops have carparks
YES and shouldn't make a profit from the car park, so any charging to profiteer will mean they will be taxed at 200% of the profits so made, all directors will be obliged to provide the service once they take on the job
Vote for me and pistonheaders will see these changes
