We moved into one of four new built semis in 2009, all with integral garages. None of the households has ever put a car in the garage since they moved in. All used for storage, bikes etc.
If mine was empty (apart from boiler and water tank) I could get my car in, (a 2 door convertable that doesn't convert any more) but wouldn't be able to open the doors!
They were building integral garages in the noughties for Morris Minors!
You’re right rude is the wrong word. Inconsiderate definitely. My street is probably out of the norm because there’s hardly any space the side of the houses but generally
Something the other side where there are no houses. So when it’s tipping down and I get back with the kids and a boot of shopping, I’ll think to myself that the person parked in front of my house to save 50p parking is an inconsiderate c%#+ then get on with it. I agree that it’s perfectly legal and you’re not doing anything wrong, but that doesn’t make it right and personally I choose not to park outside someone else’s house if I can help it
I used to put my car in the garage. but since I was disqualified after a stroke, its's been filled with junk. My mrs couldn't park a car in it if her lifde depended on it.
but what if you can't help it? are you then inconsiderate because you have parked in front of someone else's house?
I really don't get this attitude that "its my house therefore the space in front of it should be classed as mine even though its in the public realm".
if you can't help it, then obviously that's different. We have neighbours who have visitors over etc, they've got to park somewhere. But it does irk when its to save 50p from parking in town.
On that note though, ours is unrestricted, but what's the point in 'residents only' areas (practically all of Cardiff), if there's not some fundamental notion in society that people who actually live there, should be able to park there? Surely if you're right then that should all get scrapped
Residents only parking can be a bit of a nightmare, especially if you are going to have visitors. From what I garner, and this may not be entirely factual, but this tends to be the districts that surround the city centre. From this we can deduce that its to stop people parking and then walking into town.
