that could get you into trouble.
Seems like you are not immune to making assumptions yourself with this comment.


Please explain.
I am surprised that you need an explanation, For the record I appreciate that you did say 'please' a word that doesn't seem to be used by a lot of people these days.

If you are the age that seems likely from your previous comments (please note not an assumption, a deduction from things you have written) then you will remember a single released by The Who in 1965. Perhaps "I Can't Explain" sums up the recent correspondence.

It's his own dropped kerb he is parking across. It's not shared. He's not preventing access to pedestrians either, just Openreach.


Doesn't matter, a PCN can still be issued, he would then have to ask for it to be cancelled.


Incorrect, he is actually able to park across his own dropped curb - there are some basic rules to follow but he cannot be issued a PCN if he is only blocking his own access as he has the right to grant consent to park over it.

Not according to this article

Parking a vehicle fully or partially across a dropped kerb is classed as an obstruction and either the police or local council can enforce the contravention. ... As ridiculous as it may seem, you can be issued a PCN for parking across your own dropped kerb.

Got to laugh, after being parked for two weeks round the clock he moved his vehicle for a delivery of building materials to be dropped direct on his drive and forgot about immediately blocking his drive again. According to a neighbour He was still moving the building materials when two openreach drop siders and a transit van turned up and parked either side of his driveway, erected barriers and immediately started digging. Result being a wide shallow hole (cables being only a few inches below the surface) across the driveway and grassed verge.

A few hours later they were gone and apart from a bit of mud on the road and a reseeded verge you'd never guess they had been there.

I hear his blood pressure prescription might need increasing

So someones blood pressure has risen over a job that needed doing and was left in good condition.

NOTE: If they did cross the driveway then indicates this is public land and not specifically part of the property, since to do this dig across your own property a way leave would be required.

If the person is convinced and has proof the drive way is legally theirs, i.e. on the property deeds and thus are responsible for its upkeep then their solicitor needs to be onto the case for trespass.
