I live in a row of terraced houses which have a lane at the back to reach our garages. One or two neighbours park their cars in it, which means I can’t get out to the main road. I’ve had it out with the neighbours but they still park their cars there. The police say there’s nothing they can do; are there any legal steps I can take?
You will have to check your title deeds, but they’re likely to state that the lane is to be used for access purposes only. You can enforce this covenant by means of an injunction if necessary. To begin with I suggest you take your deeds to a solicitor and ask him to write to the culprits setting out the legal position, warning them that they will be responsible for your costs if you have to take the matter further.
