Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Current situation: If you look at the very dodgy map I have attached you will see the following:
Black boxes represent houses (6 at the back, 3 at the front). The red area is a bus stop. The white area is the private road/street. No other exits are available apart from the two either side of the bus stop (including public footpaths)
I have two issues:
Our road is used quite a lot by cars turning round (mostly flipping taxis). They turn around by going behind the bus stop and turn back onto the main road.
The other problem I have is non residents parking outside our houses, even though there is a sign stating Parking for Residents only.
I contacted the local council to see what can be done. It appears that this road is a "Private Street" and as such people have right of way (not that they can go anywhere).
These are my questions:
1:Can you get the classification changed from Private Street to Private road (this means people do not have right of way)?
2:Can one of the entrances be fenced off, this would discourage turning around?
3: What legal rights do the residents have to enforce resident only parking?
The reason I am looking at this is the road is beginning to break up, with the residents responsible; I do not want to repair the road for others to use it.
