Thank you, this is exactly what we are doing now. we won't use door on his side. He reserve in as well, if too close, he cannot open his own door. But these two days he is parking ok, left a space for himself to get out. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 14:50 ---------- You are totally right. That is why we were so crossed. He parked to our side already.Absolutely on purpose. Police did told them to park back a bit.At least not crossing or on line.We thought about installing a kerb or even a metal fence as well, it really depends how the things are going on. I put the bin on the edge for the time being. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 15:25 ---------- Been coming to bang my door three times just for asking us to move our car parked on our own driveway or public road! That is too rude. I bet he cannot find any other excuses to entertain himself. If it's a real issue, it won't be this difficult to sort out. But I told him that is all, no more, we have got fed up with this.Even parking on our own driveway is not allowed, we have no choice but to fight back.

have you seen the new houses areas? no fence all open, but there are lines made of wood burried on ground, clearly shows where your driveway is. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 12:41 ---------- Thanks. He calmed down a bit these two days, hopefully he would remain calm, giving me a break at least.

yes, we own the driveway as well, it's right in front of our houses

Nobody is tenant, we all own the houses.

I already mentioned we live in a end town house, we have bushes on our side, took them off and extended our driveway to park two cars. Some other neighbours even live in the middle,they try to get rid of bushes to extend driveway to park two cars, this is not a problem. But on already such a narrow driveway, what Paul did was to build flower bed.

As some people said here, there are all kinds of people, I cannot expect everyone to support me and like me, especially this happens between English and none English people, it is pretty normal for some people trying to protect him but not me. You think whatever way you like. I am not a little kid, I know what is happening. please give useful advice if you can. My English might not as good as yours, this is not my mother language, if you don't understand please ask, do not guess or being picky please. This will not help. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 12:06 ---------- you are right, there is no fence, open front new town houses all like this now. only one line between each driveway, he parked on our side crossed the line to block me opening my car door. And on the other side of his driveway, it was a big space he left. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 12:07 ---------- you are right, there is no fence, open front new town houses all like this now. only one line between each driveway, he parked on our side crossed the line to block me opening my car door.

No matter where you move to, if they want to bully you, you cannot avoid it. Sometimes depending on luck I think. I got a friend lives in a detached house, even her 3 year old looking at a cat in front of a house, been told off. some people are just as horrible as that, no matter where they are from, it is the personality maybe. But better areas should be slightly better I think and hope:) All kinds of problems exist you can never expect and predict. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 11:53 ---------- I am here for help and advice, if you want to protect Paul, it is upto you. I do not want to argue with you ,no point

hard to explain by words. anyway, what you guys think doesn't really matter. I know exactly what is happening. I just want to find a way to sort it out which is more important. cannot be bothered all the time without any proper reason. Thanks guys,anyway ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 11:31 ---------- we never parked on his side, never bother him with anything or made any argument because of any other reason. It is since we first moved here, he started picking us on how we park our car, every space seems to be his. no where is allowed, now even we extended our own driveway, parking two side is not allowed? who does he think he is? Police been to this area so many times, if we really have any problem on parking, they would point out ages ago. we have been living in this country so so long, we know what we are doing. ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 11:36 ---------- He is just trying to do everything to make us feel upset, to satisfy himself. Or get rid of us, so that he can use the driveway in front of this house. cannot see anybody living a better life than him, especially we are not English. before when he had one massive caravan and two cars, he parked the caravan on driveway, two cars on public road. I mentioned we haven't had any argument for quite a while. and we have been extended our driveway and parking two cars like this for about 3,4 years. He never said a single word regarding our parking since we extended our driveway, and not parking on the public road where he said was his ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 11:41 ---------- but recently we noticed he only got one car left, seems like he sold the other one, caravan gone ages ago as well. that is probably sth. happened to him such as losing a job we guessed. and my old car was leaving petrol, i changed a newer one a couple of weeks ago. that is very likely to be the reason he gets jealous again, trying to park to my car as close as possible to stop me opening my car door. there is only one line to separate driveway between houses, the Friday before, he parked right crossed the line to on my side, so so close to my car, I noticed this in the afternoon around 5:30pm, very bright outside, no reason he did this by accident

It doesn't matter what police think or what other people think, it is the fact there is no reason he is none stop disturbing us And I need to find a way to sort it out. Don't want to be disturbed again.

It was Paul called the police today, not me. As I wrote him a letter saying dear neighbours, please do not disturb our life, do not come to bang our door...we have got fed up with all you have done to us during the last five years. I told him a few CCTV cameras been installed. I put up the letter on the wall outside, as I do not want to go to his house. Police told him we could do this without any problem...you can see police are totally standing on our side now, for they know exactly what happens, and is the trouble maker.

His current girlfriend is ok. I was thinking of speaking to her as well, but no chance. She normally goes to work in the morning, comes back after work, she has two little ones of her own to look after. I want to speak to her without Paul being there, just cannot find a right time.

I suddenly remember sth. else. This house has been left empty for half a year before we moved in. Agent took us here twice to view the house, one of this guy's car been parking in front of this house every time we came. But since we bought the house and moved in, he has to park his car somewhere else, that could be sth. making him feel angry. I didn't even realize this until now. That is why no matter where we park, he is trying to say not allowed, trying to make us feel bad and move away? So that he can use this space for himself again?

You are such a nice person, when I have enough money to move, I will leave this house to you to live in, I am sure you can sort him out. ---------- Post added 25-05-2014 at 17:06 ---------- I have no choice but to call police. This is not as simple as an argument between neighbours. We are trying to avoid him, but he keeps bothering us, anything can become his excuses, parking is just an excuse believe me. ---------- Post added 25-05-2014 at 17:16 ---------- Really argument is a lot easier to sort out. The problem now is there is no reason he keeps doing this. Well, there must be a reason, that could be we not not English. That is the only reason I can think of now. Anyway, no matter he is happy or not,we have to find a way to protect ourselves. Police even left us a card, saying anything happens again, they could come straight away. Police would patrol in this area from time to time. They fully understand what happens, police even told us from the way that guy talk, they would know what kind of a person he is.

To be honest, I don't think he is unhappy with the way we park, because we never parked on his side or anything like that. NEVER. I believe he is just racialist, trying any excuses to be horrible to us. Anyway, police came today, telling him there is nothing wrong with our parking, police were shocked he said we were not allowed to park our own two cars on our own driveway.

If he behaves as a normal person, we would certainly talk to him, we tried that before. If your neighbour keeps shouting to you asking you to move your car somewhere else, while there is nothing wrong with your parking. And coming to bang your door at 11pm talking nonsense, will you talk to him calmly? Don't try to guess.
