Whats the UK law on a neighbour parking & blocking my drive whether there is a car on my drive or not?

i don't think the law can help you here, try inviting the neighbours in and have a cuppa and a chat and resolve it that way.

go to the local by-law office at the town and ask for their input. I am having a hard time picturing this...is it a shared driveway to a pair of garages at back????..On the other hand if you knock on this a..holes door at 2:00 and 3:00 and 4:00 AM every hour on the hour to get in and out of the garage then you are doing as he or she has asked you to do..I think they will get the heck out of the driveway real quick..if they do not move the car you can call for a truck and have it towed as you have the right to access your garage at all times of the day and night...besides what if you had an emergency and they went for a walk...oops someone died due to I could not get car out to go to hospital on time... I WOULD TOW THE JERKS CAR AWAY.

I had a similar problem, when we moved house about a year ago. It wasn't the guy next door, is was his visitors (family) who kept blocking our driveway. I had to go round about three times to ask them to move their car, before they got the message. I agree with you, that I don't really like to do that, but is was the only way. I don't care if your neighbours have lived there for umpteen years, that sort of thing is disrespectful and inconsiderate. Perhaps if you knock on their door very early in the morning, they'll soon learn.

Fill your tyres with that substance that prevents your tyres from puncturing. QVC have sold it in the past. Then sprinkle some tin tacks across your driveway.

It's an offence to park anywhere that constitutes an obstruction, and that includes blocking garages or drives. Inform the police. Of course, if you can get them to take any notice is another matter... Perhaps mention the magic words 'behaviour likely to lead to a breach of the peace'.

talking is a good policy and one that may resolve any problems, especially if you explain to them precisely what is on your mind. iam not able to specify the law if any on this, but hope it can be resolved. Or just go out buy yourself a series 2 Land Rover park it on your drive, sorn it. and tell them your going to be restoring it but it cant be moved yet :-)

Several options here: Talk to them about it first, see if you can get them to stop doing it by being reasonable. Make a point of the fact that you're having your garage moved so that you can park two cars without it getting in their way. Check if there would be enough room to get past if their car was parked tightly to one side. See your solicitor about what access rights you have for your property, and whether this covers the garage. - this should have been looked into when you were doing searches etc before purchase. If it wasn't, get a better solicitor. Park your car across the end of the drive, so it blocks THEM in instead, though this is a little antagonistic.

hi parking laws are a joke because the law say if your car is taxed moted and insured you can park any where on the public high way has long has there are no restrictions , but in your case it's about courtesy between neighbours you could also have a word with your council i hope this is some help tp you or have a word with the c.a.b good luck

I sympathise with you about those dreadful neighbours. They sound as though they have the attitude that living there for so many years gives them special privileges.
