What are my rights?
There is a track which runs adjacent to the wall of my house which
provides access to eight garages (including my own)and another house.
It is not registered as belonging to anyone and is not public. It is
about 2 vehicles wide. To still allow access to the garages, cars
occasionally park less than 60cms from my house wall,
sometimes in front of my living room window, sometimes in front of my
kitchen window and external gas meter and flue. Someone slamming their
car door or running the engine makes my house vibrate, sometimes at
night. The bleep from a remote car door opener would wake me.

1) Do I have rights to prevent people parking this close to my house?
2) Do I have rights to claim the parking spaces my own and erect a
"private parking" notice?


AIUI if the land owner cannot be traced it belongs to the parish or town
council and comes under highway rules. If they wanted to they could
install double yellow lines, but they wouldn't want to if there is no
traffic obstruction and I don't think the parking causing a nuisance to one
house would weigh very heavily with them.
Is it an unadopted dirt track, if not who tarmacs it.
I will see if I can check up on this as it happens a lot in my village which
has a lot of unowned streets.
