He added: "The police have visited multiple times and agree that there has been no breach of law. Facilitating mitigation has been offered on numerous occasions but repeatedly been refused by Mr Setterfield as he stated he did not wish to speak to his neighbours.

Whats best thing to do?

What's the problem? He has selfish neighbours. But he has "mates" with HGV's. Remove number plates, get a chain, tow offending vehicles onto main road with handbrakes on. Refit numberplates onto HGV. Job jobbed.

Well, what a set of nuggets his neighbours are.

Shirley that's a defined pavement?

Normally people who park on pavements etc shouldn't have their cars vandalised. In this case I would like to proffer an exception.

Borrow JCB and ram out the way. Id smash them up.

We had similar but not quite as bad, drive car towards your drive, stop when can go no further, get out lock car and go into your house.

I'll give it 20 minutes max before you get a knock at the door, explain situation calmly, repeat until successful access to driveway.

Or level 2 - go out for a few hours!

I think it would help if he were to park where your red arrow is ie nearer the pavement and in plain view.

Strictly speaking, you can block access to a driveway. But you can't block somebody on their drive.
tttish but true.
( A workmate parks his car across a neighbours drive, his neighbour only had it installed for their sons weekly visit. Police called on occasions by his neighbour, he now has a police letter to show them confirming no offence)

Remember that bloke that bought a tank...
I would be buying similar, have it dumped just behind the cars and block everyone in, and take a 3 week holiday to somewhere sunny


Totally selfish gits.

If you have more cars than driveway space.... buy a house with a bigger drive.
Don't make your problem everyone else's problem.

I'd wait until they'd all parked like tts on a Sunday evening then park my car in the road and block them in on a Monday morning for a few hours.

Buy a rusty old dented 4x4 for a grand. Ram it home every night. Awesome fun!!

[delboy735]

Buy a £200 snotter, just drive out through "too small" gap, smiling as you don't care about damage to your own vehicle.....

Then have a couple of beers and say sorry can't move the car.

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.

I would just park in the middle of the road just behind the cars.

Your workmate is a bellend.

Leave house at 6am.
Lean on horn until cars get moved.
