They're council houses. Built pre car ownership days or certainly mass car ownership. The landlord has tried to help by putting drives in, but you cannot help the terminally stupid and inconsiderate ways of tenants.

Its a mess like this at my house, although its rare I get blocked in.

New build with 5 single spaces in front of it. Allocated as 1 each and 1 of them is mine. The other 4 houses don't have a road and are accessed by a path.

2 of them have 2 cars and 1 has 3 cars. Who the fk buys a house with one allocated space, no road and has 3 cars. Only 2 people live there ffs. Come the weekend cars are packed in like sardines.


Luckily I've sold up and currently renting back from the investor who bought it.

Yeah, I'd just spend a grand buying insuring and taxing a pos and just use it to block them in/drag them out of the way until they got the idea.

Gary is obviously seen as a soft touch by the other neighbours. He needs to visit each neighbour and calmly explain that blocking access on or off his drive is not on. Please stop doing it.

After that, as suggested by others, buy a snotter and inflict some payback hoping that will make it sink in.

^ This,

Not far from me - there is a trade a home car dealer who has around 20 cars dotted around the ares, in an area that has a parking issue.

What he should do is what they've suggested - accept the mediation offer, then they're on notice to keep the entrance clear. He's refusing their offers of help, so he's lost the moral high ground. There's no point whining on if he won't talk to them in the first place.
This is PistonHeads and you're writing commonsense ...?!
Oh sh!t sorry - burn 'em & nail sausages to their corpses - better?

park behind the white car. Wait until they need to go out, then explain the situation.

We're having problems with vans & cars blocking the entrance to the cul de sac

One house on the road opposite parks their many cars and vans up the entrance road on the path making it very narrow , they've been asked not to do it but ignore any requests

Somebody rang the police and they came round and put warning notices on the offending vehicles which just pissed them off so now they park on the path leaving enough room to get a wheelchair past which apparently is legal so all the moaning has done is make the access narrower

The thing that's pissing everybody off is they have at least 6 cars and a van but the road they live on has plenty of parking 20m from their house .

Years ago I did know someone that moved on to a new estate and a neighbour complained to the builders that he was parking a van on his drive , the builders threatened him with court action enforcing a covenant about commercial vehicles

He had to park the brand new van on the road off the estate which left him with some space on his drive so he bought an old mini for a few quid ( this was years ago) parked it right on the end in full view of his neighbour and brush painted every panel a different colour

have 2 very wide bangers with an MOT/tax/insurance and park properly (not on pavemeent) on the road before the round part of the cul-de-sac, have both cars opposite each other so that none of them can squeeze their car in and park.

I agree, but I was highlighting the point that it's perfectly legal to park across a drive if nobody is on it!

Brake fluid in a spray bottle. A slight fine mist over a localised area will do the trick.
