Woman 'almost in tears' as neighbour won't stop parking on her driveway

A woman has been left "almost crying with frustration" as her neighbour keeps parking his van on her driveway - despite her asking him not to.

Taking to Mumsnet, the anonymous woman explained that she politely asked her neighbour to stop leaving his work van on the dropped curb in front of her driveway.

He told her he wouldn't - but just two days later the van was parked in the exact same spot, according to the Mirror.

The woman said: “He continues to park his work van over the front of my driveway over a dropped curb.

“I’ve asked him politely just two days ago to please stop doing this and he said he would and now he’s gone and done it again. I feel like crying.”

She added: “He doesn’t have a driveway, his has a wall at the front of his house - and I don’t. I park on my driveway and so he parks across what would be his drive and mine.

“I’ve just gone round and almost cried with frustration. His excuse ‘it’s a long van’ ”.

People were quick to comment on the post, advising her to keep telling the man to move his van.

One wrote: “Ask him to move it each time he does it. Call the police if he persists.”

Another added: “What he is doing is illegal. Report him to the council - take photos of him blocking you in first for proof - and report him.”

One person responded: “‘It’s a long van’ It’s YOUR long van and MY drive.”

Another added: “One option when people park across your drive is to park across your own drive. You shouldn’t have to, obviously.”

A third wrote: “It drives me insane when people park across my drive. If it happens in the day time I sit in my car with my hand on the horn for as long as it takes. Usually about 10 minutes.

“It hasn’t made me very popular but I bought a house with a drive so I could use it.”
