Any help with the following issue would be gratefully received. I'll try to keep it brief..here goes..
My flat, which I rent comes with a private car park and we have one allocated space which my flat mate uses. Within the car park however there are a number of areas that are not allocated spaces, but which have space to park a car.
In my opinion these spaces (of which there are 3) have amble space to park a car; the car does not obstruct any entrances or anyone else needing to park, and I cannot see any health and safety issues with parking there. The spaces do not have any white lines round, and there are no yellow lines or any 'no parking' signs.
When I park here the 'car park police' leave notes on my car. These started as (quite rude) hand written notes, grew into polite printed notes stating I was 'not parked in a designated parking space' to a 'WARNING you have parked in a no parking area' sign which was glued to my window. My car has also been keyed while parked in one of these areas.
When I spoke to the police about my car been keyed they stated there was no reason I couldn't park there; however I would like to confirm this and possibly leave a note about this for the 'car park police'. I also think their behaviour could be verging on bullying or harrassment, or I am I being sensitive? However I am also worried that if I make an issue of it the property managers will look to make them no parking areas and get a private company to clamp/fine people-is this possible??
Any advice about this issue, or where to go to find the best advice??
thank you in advance x
