Parking legalities
Discussion
So a tricky one here.
Basically my house has a long gravel drive, garage at the bottom. Outside house is pavement.
I have been parking on/off the pavement for 10 years. We weed where the pavement meets the road, everyone on our cul-de-sac weeds their parts of the pavements, makes sure there is no litter etc.
A scummy family have moved in further up the road, they don't have a drive. They have SIX cars. So as you can guess they have started parking their cars on all the pavements outside everyones houses. No problem. Except...
1. They keep littering, every day a new mcdonalds bag finds its way underneath respective car. And then just gets left there.
2. They love smoking...today I found 13 fag butts under the hedge that seperates my garden from the pavement.
3. And more importantly; one of them knocked on my door the other day and politely asked me to stop parking on the pavement outside my house, because "we have more cars and no drive so we need it". I politely told them to f
k off.
Why don't we use the drive? There are 4 cars in our family, two in double garage, father parks his work lease car on the top of the drive so there is room for the 2 garaged cars to get past. I park mine on the pavement (half on half not so people can get past). Council say it is our responsibility to look after the pavement sections outside our respective houses.
I won't go into detail that this family are all on the dole whilst everyone else on our street goes to work, therefore every time someone comes home these people have moved their cars in the way.
TLDR: New neighbours have six cars, no drive, park outside everyone elses houses, then have the cheek to tell us we aren't to park there anymore because they need the room.

Sorry I realised I have not asked a question: What is the official law regarding this matter, so I can tell them where to go if they keep hassling me?
Quite tempted to get a pair of skips and put them on the pavement behind where I park, except when I come home I would have nowhere to park!

To summarise. Some new neighbours have moved in who are lower class than you and you don't like it. They have as many cars as you do and it offends you. They are also quite unhealthy through diet and habit. You are very house proud and they aren't.

No I am getting pissed off that some new neighbours who blatently don't give a sYou are Hyacinth Bucket.
t about anyone other than themselves seem to think they have more right over everyone elses properties than their owners do; and then litter all over them.Just yesturday one of them decided to park on one of the elderly neighbours drives ffs! The elderly won't say anything obviously they know this.
I fixed the problem by parking my car in the middle of the pavement and stopping them parking front/rear of it due to no more room 
I fully expect my car to get keyed/smashed at some point but that is what insurance and CCTV is for...
And yes, I don't see why people who don't pay tax (yet can afford to smoke and go to McDonalds) think they can take a dump on everyone who do!
