The house that has the signs on it side (looks like number 135 on street view), is located on "lower Weybourne Ln". The unadopted/private road in question is "Orchard Rd"

So surely that house cannot have any claim over road space on a unadopted/private road that they don't actually live on?
It could have a claim for prescriptive rights if owners of the house have parked there for long enough. The road shows as unregistered. Gut feel is that it is council owned but unadopted, or part of a residual estate that has been forgotten.

Either way, I suspect the signs are a try on, unless they have proved prescriptive rights. I am not going to look at their actual title as i have to pay the price of a pint smile
