Rising airport parking costs are creating conflict
PARK AND HIDE: Some holidaymakers are swapping airport parking for residential streets
Leading to local residents having to deal with overcrowded and potentially dangerous space issues, the rise in anti-social behaviour related to parking has become a major issue in the UK. A homeowner has no special legal right to park directly outside their property. All road users have the same right to park anywhere on the public highway as long as they do not contravene parking restrictions.Trying to keep a parking space available outside your home using cones or some other obstacle could be viewed as an obstruction, and you could be liable to prosecution – unless your local authority has granted you the right to do so for something such as a funeral.
Vandalising a parked car is a criminal act and you can be prosecuted. Even if just spraying chip fat on the windscreen or blocking the exhaust, these acts could still be classed as vandalism.The first step with any anti-social parking problem is to contact your local authority and/or the police. However, there is little the law can do to support homeowners – even if a car blocks your driveway.
