Parking spots in a flat car park?
« on: 07 December 2011, 09:57 »
So  I Wake up this morning to check my car for any defects again that may fail the MOT, and i see this bit of paper on the window, i thought it was a bit of rubbish at first, however it turns out to be this...

The car park has only 3 numbers round the back where i was parked and that is 5,6 and 7. im number 8... and the spot next to number 7 is always taken by a sh!tty 53 plate fiesta.. so i wrote my own note, "If my spot is number 8 and someone has parked in it for the 2-3 months i have been here i will park in the nxt slot. Now when the spot after the camper(Number 7) stays free i shall park in that, but again if someone parks in that i am not parking at the end or on the street which i often do in my parents car when i have a spot here. Thank you!" then at the side i put " PS Please do not litter my car! :( " hehe what would you guys do or say? - i dont even know who put this on my car (original note) btw my note is quite big, and erm noticeable

Then it just ends up being a Domino effect, dont blame whoever lives at 7. Why don't you find out who's parking in your space? Is it permit parking? If it is then ring council. And leaving a reply like that will only cause more botger, go knock on door and talk

aww :P your no fun, but i dont know who put it there. i dont know who parks in "my" spot, and usually where i parked is empty, and its private land not council, only thing i could do is ring the owner of it to put signs on the parking bays

You've gone about this the wrong way.  Rather that pi55 off the other car parkers you should sort it out with the person in your space.

If it's private land, and the space has been designated / allocated to your house then inform the perp that you will sue them for tresspass.

I believe since this is all private land, tax does not affect the situation? the car that parks in my spot however is used and moves everyday. and because it is at the side of the flat i cannot see who drives this fiesta.. i dont know who even put the note on my car, however people saw me working on the car yesterday so why wouldnt someone just ask me to move when i was out there :\

Only note i ever get is 'please do not drive so fast coming home'

I was testing out dynolicious  :laugh:

Find out who parks in your space. If its been there ages, ring the council say you think its a stolen/dumped car. Will be taken away for free if its left much longer  :evil:

the car that does park in my spot moves daily, but i work till 8pm :\ - so by the time i am home, its there.. be best to ring the landlord and suggest for parking numbers to be painted or signs to be put up?

Ah Rented.  Check your tenancy for mention of "allocated parking space"

Inform Landlord of problem.  He has to sort it out (If he is freeholder/leaseholder of the land).  If he cannot then at least you can demand a reduction in rent.
