On the road where I live in Blackrock there was a quiet road with about 50 feet of parking on the public road where visitors could park their cars. It ran alongside a side garden so it was not interfering with anyone. If we were getting deliveries or workmen working in our houses we could use this section of the road for our cars for short periods of time. It suited everybody.
Two neighbours on the opposite side of the road couldn't reverse their cars out their driveway in one clean sweep when anyone parked there. It required a little more effort on their part. They got together and contacted Dun Laoghaire Rathdown and had double yellow lines put down.
A few years on and now these neighbours are having difficulty with cars parking outside their house. People park there in the morning and walk to work in Blackrock. It is just outside the Pay and Display zone.
These people are now putting large plastic cones out on the public road to stop people parking on the public road. They already have a driveway and now want a private space outside their homes as well.
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council have been contacted about this but so far they couldn't care less.
Can anything be done?
