Can I report someone for nuisance behaviour and nuisance parking (in the UK)?

Question

It sounds really petty in the way I'm going to word this but the family in question each have a car and there's four of them. The parents and both their children have cars. They block up half the street with their nuisance parking in trying to have all 4 cars parked outside their house but it means there's no room for about 5 other people's cars that live on the street.

Even when they park they leave massive gaps between the cars taking up even more room. Every time someone is parking outside or even leaving their house, the mother of the family is constantly checking through her bedroom window on who's moving their car so she can move one of her family's cars closer to her house. It's really intimidating and I hate the feeling of not being able to go out to my car without being checked upon like a small child.

I wouldn't be too bothered about this childish behaviour as walking the extra distance from parking up the street wouldn't make a tad of difference to me but I'm disabled and rely on crutches to help me get through day to day life and it is painful to try and walk that extra distance to my house. The family in question don't give a damn on whether I'm in crutches or not.

Any advice on what to do?

Answer 1

You can report it.....don't mean anything will happen.

Answer 2

the other user who mentions disabled being able to get a parking bay doesnt take into account that OP may not meet criteria.



councils will paint a disabled parking bay outside the persons house-IF,they are have a blue badge or are on high rate mobility of DLA,they also have to be full time residents usualy.

the only issue here is if there is no car in the space and another blue badge user comes along;they can legaly use it.



if the OP wants to find out more,enter the borough/council that come under on google along with 'applying for a disabled parking bay uk'.

am on HRM,a blue badge owner and live in residential care,but when visiting parents at the weekend staff struggle to park there,the next door neighbour of mums has a disabled parking bay but woud never use it if she wasnt there,not right and woud hope other blue badge owners had the morals to care for others to.

Answer 3

sorry, dude, this is why houses with aprking places are more expensive. if there is a free parking on the street they can park 10 cars - there is no law against it

Answer 4

In the uk I am afraid that this doesn't amount to nuisance. Just because it annoys you doesn't make it a civil legal issue.



Nuisance is stopping your right to enjoy your property in peace, so loud noise or parties every night, DIY at midnight and so on.



If you are disabled then you can apply to the council to have a dedicated disabled space painted onto the road immediately outside your house. If they then park on that they can be clamped.



I'm sorry its not what you want to hear and I appreciate its annoying but they are exercising their right as road tax payers (assuming they do of course - maybe check) to park their car wherever they like within normal road parking guidelines.



Edit: I clearly said IF and APPLY. I did not and do not claim that the op is entitled. If it causes such pain to walk such a short distance then clearly a blue badge is something that can be considered if they don't already have one. The op referred to themselves as disabled and I have no grounds to disbelieve them or to quiz them on the extent of such disability. The original question was on redress regarding the parking of others NOT on eligibility or otherwise for schemes for the lesser abled.
