we live in a detatched house off a single track main road into our village so its akward getting our van in or out of our drive at the best of times i.e. nobody parked opposite our gate , opposite our house is a council estate with just a pavement no drives ,we have been here thirty years ,a few years back a couple moved in and he started parking on the pavement opposite even though he has knocked a gateway out of his garden a few yards up the street , i have asked him several times not to park directly opposite our gate and explained ,at first (about a month) he parked further up the pavement,now he has started parking directly opposite even though he is not living there (beat his wife up and moved up road) any good advice please , I feel he is running our lives as we cannot get our van out or in unless he,s using his vehicles and hence not there .
