Question about the street idiot.
Discussion
Blanchimont said:
Right, I'm after questions about what can be done about the resident Penis that's recently moved into the street.
Essentially, he's taken quite a shining to pissing me and the Mrs off, by parking partially blocking both cars in, meaning we have to move 1 car to let the other out. (He has his own driveway)
He moved into the rented house down the road about 6 months ago, and began parking like an idiot pretty much straight away, blocking people in, and abandoning it all over the road and infront of people driveways.
The Mrs has heard him say to his relatives that came over (who can actually park) that he deliberated parks like a prick to piss us off, and wants a reaction.
He's called my Mrs a
, to her Mum.
He's got aggressive with a neighbour when he blocked his Mrs in, and tried to start a fight basically telling the neighbour to "come on if he thinks he's such a big man"
He's generally a bit of a prick, and has been heard shouting all sorts at his Mrs, calling her everything imaginable.
Mrs was blocked in by him completely, the other day, and knocked on his door to ask him to move, and miraculously he didn't answer, but you could easily see he was in.
Mrs has spoken to the local plod about this asking advice, and they sent a couple of officers round to have a word. This, seemingly has made it worse, and is now completely blocking the drive.
I'm fked off with it, and now want something done. I've tried speaking to him, and he doesn't answer to me, or my Mrs and starts on neighbours who really haven't spoken to him before.
Short of dragging the fking car into a field and burning it (Tempting, but not that I would) Is there anything we can do, other than speak to the Landlord?
TL;DR.
dhead neighbour is hell-bent on pissing me and Mrs off, causing confrontation, has already started on other neighbour, dhead has called my Mrs a to her Mum, and after Plod had a quiet word, he's now decided to become even more of a prick and completely block the drive.
Other than complaining to his Landlord, anything I can do?
Try one more time at being resonable? must be a reason for the behavior !Essentially, he's taken quite a shining to pissing me and the Mrs off, by parking partially blocking both cars in, meaning we have to move 1 car to let the other out. (He has his own driveway)

I had a problem with a neighbour when he was drunk one night. I went round the next day prepared to fight him if necessary as he was aggressive. I didn’t want to do that obviously but I was prepared to do it if I had to and if he started swinging. I couldn’t live there if I didn’t as I would have been constantly stressed. I knocked on the door and said I was there to sort things out, we talked it through and shook hands in the end. Problem solved.
I think you need to do the same. Knock on his door and have a talk to him just the two of you. Be prepared for him to swing at you but don’t make the first move. If you don’t do this you’ll never relax while you live there. He sounds a tt but you need to face up to him. Good luck.
I think this is the best solution. Just sort it out in person and make sure he knows you aren't a pushover.I think you need to do the same.

t but you need to face up to him. Good luck. Letting his tyres down or moving his car is going to end badly for you, he will just end up vandalising your car.
Obviously you have to either be bigger than him or more mental though or he may actually call your bluff and give you a kicking.
Snitching to the landlord is your only option if you don't meet the above criteria. But if it's obvious you are the one doing it then you can expect some feedback from the knobhead nextdoor.

This. ^Letter to Chief Constable, with a few neighbours signature in addition to your own, outlining the fact that this guy is making everyone's life a misery.
Point out that the local police reacted admirably and in a timely fashion but not only did the miscreant not change his ways but that it now appears that he holds the police is such contempt that his behaviour has got worse. Add in a bit about the "perp's" propensity to violence,
Ask the Chief Constable just exactly what he intends to do to rectify the situation.
Copy the local MP into the letter.
You will get a "holding letter" from the CC's politically correct PR person,usually a career minded Inspector, offerring sympathy and little else,the object of the exercise being to get you to go away quietly.
Leave it a couple of days and phone the PR person'/ officer up and ask just what he/she/it is intending to do about the case barring offering platitudes. I may have used the phrase " When you joined the police was it your dream to sit at a desk trying to fobb people off with vacuous statements all day".Tell them you will be phoning them back in a few days. They now have personal ownership of the case and want to get shut asap. Firstly because they wont want you ringing them again and reinforcing just what a blind alley they have entered careerwise, secondly because there's always the underlying threat that you will contact the CC again and he has already delegated the job assuming action will be taken.
Contact, preferably by phone, the MP. Update them on progress ie Little so far.
After a few days its likely the local police will have had the required instructions and you will have been given a local police contact to work with to sort the idiot out. Its then the local police job to use whatever means (seizing car would be poetic) to sort the problem.
Once success has been achieved write to CC thanking him for his input, commending his officers and copy the MP into the letter.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Tony

legally nothing you can do if he blocks an empty drive.
This is an urban myth. In a special enforcement area (which means most cities and large towns these days) it's illegal to park accross a dropped kerb - there's no need for driveway to be occupied. Traffic Management Act 2004, Section 86. (There is an exception which allows you to block your own drive, as well as for things like loading).Contact the council and hopefully they'll send a CEO round to issue a ticket.

That’s all well and good, but won’t work. One of my tenants suffered from months of verbal abuse, threats of violence, banging on walls, hurling abuse at a 5 year old from the attached neighbours. The perpetrators were both serving police officers, their force did nothing at all. This behaviour turned out to be the norm for the last four owners of the property too. All made statements, all made a case for the force to be able to action and they did nothing at all, not even from an employment perspective.

They’ve thankfully now moved, they lasted less than 6 months in the first place, before the locals saw them off. They’re now back living on the same Estate and apparently making their new neighbours lives hell. The police interest? Zero.
49 replies, and no-ones mentioned frozen sausages. I'm impressed.
Sounds like the guy has issues.
Try have a chat with him, maybe over a couple beers and see what his problem is.
Landlord would be the best route to getting him moved along for sure.
If you want to risk escalation, next time he blocks your drive, block him in with your cars and wait for him to come ask to be let out.

RE; Tony 427.
A Chief Constable's bag man won't deal with something like this.
By all means send a letter - but it will just get sent straight to Division.
Inspector will delegate. Sergeant will delegate. Neighbourhood PC or PCSO will deal.
I'd suggest looking on your force website and seeing which neighbourhood officer is directly responsible for your area.
Contact them direct. Explain it's on-going and getting worse. Say you're worried. Say it's not just a parking issue. Say you feel intimidated if you do.
You want to speak to the person who is going to deal with it.
Nobody at HQ will.

I firstly went down your preferred route. Didn't work. Nothing achieved. " Well no-one's been hurt yet" was the response from the local police.
So I also suppose the letter from the Chief Constable's "assistant" was a figment of my imagination then. And the phone calls.
So the letter wasn't sent straight to Division. The inspector didn't delegate. He took control. s
t flows downhill remember so he had it raining on him from above. We are now on first name terms. I was given an excellent DC contact to handle the case who still keeps me updated on events almost 3 years later. Again first name terms.
And the "perp" is still behind bars.
It appears that the OP also has already gone down your route . That didn't work either. It made it worse.
Its up to the OP whose advice he wants to take, but your's has already failed and mine worked for me.
Happy Procedures,
Tony

I think, it'll be Landlord, as it's suspected he's not supposed to be living there.
What makes you say that ? If its funded by DSS (or whatever it's called these days) then report it to them. Landlord is the best route as its likely, being a dhead, that he'll cause the landlord all sorts of other grief if not dealt with.I can't see any attempt to be friendly with the guy having any success, he sounds like a complete wker who will throw it back in your face.
Going to the other extreme is just going to result in an escalating spiral of threats, petty vandalism and violence, so unless you're confident to "outdo" him it probably won't work either. But if you are confident then this might help... https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
As already suggested, CCTV, diary, contact LL/local police when appropriate. Unfortunately it'll probably be a slow process.

OP we live on a tight cul de sac. It's very narrow. One house is perpetually rented out and it's always had social/problem tenants in. The house across had a big face off in the street as they continually blocked our neighbours drive. I ended up going out and calming everyone down. Apparently I wasnt there when it all kicked off again and the Police were called. A few months after the bad Tennant's left.
There's nothing you can do if a peaceful resolution hasn't worked. The Berk obviously gets off on signs that it gets to you.
If he calls you, your wife or to your mother names again though it's entering the relms of a public order offence. Especially if you can state it's making you feel alarmed or distressed. If your local police won't act, ask for the duty inspector or Neighbourhood Beat Sargeant and state it's ongoing and it's effecting your health. Keep pressing this.
As for the Marine, if he came to my door he'd be leaving without what he wanted. I don't do threats or be threatened.
