Parking without care for others or courtesy by asking in what is (or was) residents-only off-street, not just taking the space for 2+ days but blocking access to two houses.
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8379019.
Apart from inconvenience to us, by parking between the rail and wall as seen on the photograph meansmean bin-men cannot get by and nor would a mother and her pram or someone with a wheel-chair who visits us. We have reported this anti-social behaviour before with a request for the Council to do what the old District Council did and erect a Residents-only sign that we could ask the local Car-Parking Warden or Police to enforce. It happens a lot with visitors as Alnwick is busy these days.

Here is the cropped and full photograph. I did not picture the registration.
Fortunately in this case friends at the Tanners pub opposite us knew the driver. and contacted her last night. We allowed her to park for a limited time provided she moved the car 5-6 feet so that the entrance to the houses were unimpeded. In that sense we were lucky. Usually we can never trace the drivers. One a few months ago one actually not only parked in the space but positioned the car at a right-angles so most of the rear encorached on the public footpath.
Good job my late Mother and Aunt who lived here aren't still alive. My Mother parked her car in our space but a bit carelessly leaving about 6-10 inches of one wing over the pavement. She had placed her disability sticker and was there just a few minutes to pick her sister up for a hospital appointment. She was fined. How is it that can be dealt with and not the anti-social parking? I was assured when buying the house from the Council that the right to this space was retained, indeed I have thought of asking my Solicitor for what was stated in the documents. The Neighbour, Mrs Helen Thompson, who has the adjacent parking space, is still a tenant of Northumberland Homes. The entrance is the only one for both os of us and to the rear and one more disabled neighbour for her bins. She has a special large wheelie-bin.
We are acting together on this request to you.
