Something kicked off out of nothing today around where i love concerning the right for me to park, clarification of my legal position would be appreciated.
Around our street/yard we are the only people who own our house, the rest are let out along with a few industrial units by Mr C. The lad at No3 has moved in and is renting the house, 2 units, and rights to park on the whole area- he's setting up a business. They accidentally took our wheelie bin a few days ago and used it thinking it was theirs, when my mother found out she emptied the contents on to their doorstep and walked off with our bin empty. The lad and his mrs have told us both that we are no longer to park on Mr C's property, as they are renting it from him, and that one word from them to Mr C will result in our cars being towed away without notice. I've tried to reason, and apologised hundreds of times, but Mr C appears to have poisoned their minds a bit prior to the incident; Mr C and us have a long and fairly colourful history.
Do they actually have the right to do what they're threatening to do? We have a driveway, but it's too full of our kid's crap for us both to park in it and it's only a single entrance which won't work with 2 people using it even if it was clear. The threats sound to me like theft, but it happens all the time in Haworth doesn't it?
I've managed to strike a deal that nothing will happen until notice is issued in writing, my mum isn't fussed and is going to wait and see. Advice?
Cheers.
