How much 'access' is required to a garage at the end of a narrow dead-end street?
Eveyone on the street has been receiving threatening and poorly written notes regarding our parking and access to their garage.
Our road is rather narrow, and a popular part of town for parking by commuters and others from nearby streets and our 'neighbours', for want of a better word, seem to think they're entitled to enough space on both sides of the street to turn their car into their garage that no one has ever seen them use!
So we were wondering what constitutes 'legal access' to a driveway or garage? Do we have to keep both sides at the end of the street free for them to turn into their garage? If so, what distance is 'adequate'?
Thanks in advance!
Answers:
if the access road is private e.g it is owned between the residents including the 'neighbor' then they have full rights to use what is there garage, if it is council owned they can request the council to put permit parking in to keep the car park dodging stingy idiots out, but it night cost them.
but if the garage is private and the road is a public right of way then they have every right to use it, and it was me i would be temmpted to move offeneding motors with a trolley jack.
sorry to put a downer on things.
