Question Author
Hi and thanks for the reply.
The area in question is actually on my side of the cul de sac as its directly behind my gates and he lives the other side of the cul de sac, so no, its not blocking any access to his property.
I believe the whole cul de sac is still owned by the Housing Association who i know he has been in contact with as i had a very standard letter from them a couple of months ago asking for all the people on our side of the cul de sac not to cause any obstructions. I rang and told them i wasn't causing an obstruction and apart from repeatedly saying "well as long as you're not causing an obstruction", i think they're only too aware that they can't actually stop us parking there, they were just trying to keep their tennant happy. I even rang the police to get further advice and even they say that as long as i'm not parking over pedestrian access or someone's access to their drive, they can't understand why he thinks he can take me to Court.
Funnily enough, since my last post on here, a random vehicle has appeared and has parked in the parking space the last two days and i wonder if he is using a friends car to simply prevent me or anyone else parking there....of course i could just be being paranoid!
