Inconsiderate Neighbours.
We have some comparitively new neighbours living across the road from us. I don't know what they do for a living but they always have lots of vehicles which they park anywhere there happens to be a space without any thought for those of us who like to park in front of their own houses. I know that you don't own the road in front of your house but, imo, it is just good neighbourliness to leave other people's parking places free. By the way, the new nejghbours are Rumanian and there appears to be 7 adults living in a 3 bedroomed house.12-09-2015, 08:11 PM

Re: Inconsiderate Neighbours.
My son is thinking of returning to the uk but there is a problem. The government insist he has at least £70,000 behind him a job of £25,000 to go to, and although his children can come over his wife can't because she is Brazilian.Yet all these immigrants with no work/family or even speak the language are allowed in

Re: Inconsiderate Neighbours.
We have the same problem here Alan. Everyone seems to park outside our gate, two doors away from us, is always having parties, she is Philipine, and all her Philipine friends with expensive cars all park outside our House, there has got to be at least 10 cars, and they can't park or even drive properly.

Re: Inconsiderate Neighbours.
With my experience, notes on or in doors don't mean a thing with some people. You may be lucky, but if they're doing it in the first place then IMHO they probably know already they're in the wrong. (Sorry I've not worded that right, but I know what I mean!)They don't know our rules, regulations, how we live, how we should live. So they do what they would normally do in their own country and we Britons usually have to put up with it!! This is the experience with the people upstairs. The whole family seems to come to the flat, and they are not bothered about how they behave and what noise/disturbance they cause. My manager admitted that if the third installation of noise monitoring equipment shows up nothing, then we are flogging a dead horse. Their landlord has apparently asked them to be quiet during the night time hours but they've just ignored the order.
What will you be doing to sort it out? I suppose the Council can't do anything?

Re: Inconsiderate Neighbours.
I would take the friendly approach Alan and go over and talk to the family concerned
. Ask them if they could keep the space near your house free for you and your elderly wife and if they could it would be appreciated.
A neighbours son who is a bit of a wheeler-dealer with various cars and even a power boat parked outside his house started to park outside my house.
My DIL with the twins and a baby really really needed to park right outside my house when dropping one child off so she could still see the others in the car. Also Chloe would bark a lot if she could see a strange car through the hall door.
So I went around and spoke to the neighbour and asked for his co operation with my problem . He has never parked in front of my house since.

Re: Inconsiderate Neighbours.
I agree Meg - it 'can' work, so worth a tryI did this with a van that was parked everyday in such a way that he blocked the view from turning into the main road, it was a dangerous situation.
I put a note on his van explaining the problem - I received a beautiful card, still have it - apologising and he parked further down.
We all have experiences where the friendly approach does not work - but there are exceptions ...........
