I live at number 58 Petherton gardens and since I've. Moved in I've had problems with parents who parked across my small drive and along the wall so close to drive I could not park near my house I'm a pensioner and disabled, so when I go to do some shopping I need to be close to my house. Last year I had the front garden converted into a drive to stop parents parking there. Yesterday at the bottom of my road I always drive down to bottom of cul-d-sac. Drive back up so i can reverse in makes it easier for me to get out I do have a video of what happend A BMW no plate Y10 CKP Was coming up from the cul-d sac. I signed to her to go back and reverse so I could go down and reverse myself after she had driven out . She did a bit and then stopped she would not move so I could not go forward. She got out her cat and said I was on the wrong side of the road There was no wrong side ,so many parents parked everywhere and cars behind me.. She then said I would have a long wait to which I told her I didn't mind. I'm not being bullied outside my own house She then come back I spoke to her and asked her to move again, she put told her I lived in this road and I am disabled.she put her hand round her face and said do I looked bothered and off she went again By then a crowd of parents and children had stopped to see what was going on. I then decided to get my shopping from the boot and take it in to my home. With that a different woman came up to my drive and started shouting at me a man joined her also started to shout and told me to move my car I said I wouldn't why should I, I was I. The right she was in the wrong He then told me he would bump my car I told him I would call the police. He then wondered off During this time while having to carry my shopping a bit further my arthritic knee has flared ap and I can't walk I will not be bullied or threatened in my own road outside my house.so I am making this complaint hoping you will stop parents parking in this road .I had to walk to school when I wasa child.these parents will not walk for 5 seconds
