Parking Disputes & Being a Good Neighbour

Parking Disputes & Being a Good Neighbour

We've recently received reports of disagreements between neighbours relating to parking outside homes.

It's important to remember that parking spaces on the public highway are generally available for ANY vehicle that is legally parked. 

While we understand residents may have personal circumstances, including caring responsibilities or accessibility needs, disputes can quickly escalate when frustrations are allowed to build.

If you have concerns about parking near your home, we encourage respectful and constructive conversations with your neighbours. Please remain calm, be considerate of one another, and avoid confrontational behaviour.

Where residents require disabled parking provision, applications can be made through the local council, who will assess each case individually.

Neighbour disputes can have a lasting impact on communities. A simple conversation and mutual understanding can often prevent matters from escalating.
