Resident parking rights on public roads

[fistophobia]

I have had similar problems outside my house.
I have 4 parking spaces, clearly marked, as they are part of my property.
Cars were constantly parking there, so I placed a few traffic cones.
There were moved aside.

Not to be defeated.. I filled them with concrete.

But didn't the concrete-filled cones prevent you from using the spaces just as effectively as they prevented everyone else?

 

[fistophobia]

You have a point.
But, thats not the way I roll.
If I cant use my own car spaces, then nobody else is going to use them.

Initially, it did not not work... a motorist moved one of the heavy cones and parked on my space.

Yes agree with cones as effective

I was told that these are considered as littering.

You could have just grassed them or planted them. Then then they would be a better amenity for your property than a few permanently-blocked parking bays.

It just highlights the stupidity of allowing developments with no off-street parking facilities.

I expect this is going to have to change over the coming years to facilitate electric vehicle charging, there’s a big issue brewing for those without driveways and the first thing to do when you’re in a hole is stop digging.

I’ve reported cones used by residents to my local authority as abandoned waste and they have been removed.

and they have been removed.

The cones or the neighbours?
