Neighbour refusing to move his car from my driveway

[Hogg]

That neighbour sounds like a classic bully, who will get away with as much as he can. Unfortunately - he has, and is continuing to get away with this situation and understandably, the OP does not want to be on bad terms with such a one. Without council help or going mob-handed the only recourse would seem to be to keep on and on, very politely, at him until he gives in. The lesson here is don't let some bullying pill take advantage in the first place. It is much easier to say 'no' in the beginning than trying to backtrack later. I have a friend, who (being without wheels) has allowed a neighbour to park across her drive, now has to ask his permission if she wants a visitor to be able to park on her drive.

Legally you can't tow it, or clamp it so you're kinda stuck with it.

 

At some point you're going to have to man up and get the fella to move the car.

 

rubbish of course you can tow it its in his way hes asked him to move it there is no legal issue

The ability to tow and clamp was taken away from private land owners when they changed the rules to tackle car clamping companies.

Technically you can't move it or immobilise it (but then who's going to stop you???)

 

Personally I'd drag it out into the street, then deny all knowledge of how it got there.

Just send him an invoice charging him a daily rate for storage of his vehicle, back-dated to the day you first asked him to remove it...

 

... and when he refuses to pay, tell him you'll sell on the 'debt' to a debt-collecting agency!

 

Simples!

It looks like this is the route i will go down.

Tell him as of today you will be charging him for parking/storing his car, say £20 per week, when it's been there 6 months if he hasn't paid tell him you are selling the car to pay his fee

Did you have anything in writing or have an agreement how long he could keep the car there for?

 

You could always argue that it is now causing you an unnecessary obstruction in that you cannot park your own vehicle on your drive. Although it's a civil matter, you could always ask the police to send a PCSO round to have a quite word in his ear on the basis it is now causing an obstruction.

 

The sticking point is that you allowed him to park there.

Have you considered hugging him, just knock on the door and hug him for about 10 minutes, maybe you could take some marijuana round with you just to break the ice.

Report it as abandoned.
