Advice appreciated, parking and manoeuvring question
Discussion
Thought I would ask the collective mind here about how to proceed with the following.
We live on a typical nondescript, modern estate, on a small private road, containing 3 other houses as well as our own. Of the four houses, we are the only ones who have space on our driveway for guest parking. Next door have two cars and a work van on their drive, all space used, the two other properties have two spaces and two cars each. As we are in the corner, we have a larger drive with our two cars on there, plus enough room for maybe 2 or 3 other cars, if needed. The road is single car width, no where else to park or turn round. If a car pulls down the road and can't park, only answer is to reverse back out.
Our problem is this. People use our drive to manoeuvre around in. Not the biggest problem, except we have two little uns who like to play on bikes, scooters etc outside our house. It's always been a problem, but our neighbours have recently changed and they have a lot of visitors coming all the time and it's getting to a point where I can't let the kids go out for fear of them getting clipped. Additionally we have had delivery lorries park on our drive to drop stuff off at the other houses.
What can I do? Ideas appreciated. Cheers folks

You could try one of these?

Tell the neighbours it's to keep the kids in, rather than them out?

Can the kids not play in the back garden rather than the front drive which is about the length of a car?
Of course they can, their bikes and scooters are kept in the garage mind. Also, why should they be limited to that because others think it's fair to use my drive to manoeuvre?http://www.theworkplacedepot.co.uk/removable-posts
These are brilliant. But it will be neighbour war the moment it is in place. I'd say go for it.
