Woman left 'on verge of tears' after neighbour row over parking space

A woman has been left on the 'edge of tears' after her neighbour's behaviour that she says has made her life 'extremely troubled'.

Her next-door neighbour has nabbed her parking spot 'hundred of times', and things have only went from bad to worse, reports the Mirror.

The person next door now has dogs that keep escaping to the woman's garden, and causing lots of mess. And now, the neighbour refuses to do anything about it.

According to the frustrated woman, the neighbour has even had police visits in the past, as the are fights at all hours of the day and night.

The neighbour has even 'jumped' onto the hood of the woman's partner's car. The angered resident finds the situation extremely difficult, as there is never any responsibility taken, or action to fix things.

The woman aired her anger on social media forum Mumsnet, as she spotted the neighbour's dogs in her garden once again, causing havoc.

The woman, who remained anonymous, wrote: "My neighbour is awful. she's stuck things to our window, taken our parking spaces hundreds of times, loudly disturbed on purpose while I've had clients over, jumped on my husband's car, trashed the outside of our houses and had countless fights in the street at all hours, one involved smashing up a car.

"Most people on this street have either called the police, reported her to her housing association, or reported her to social services.

"I can't list everything as there's just so much but I hate our first home that we worked so hard for and it's having a hideous effect on my mental health."

The person next door also has two pets who managed to squeeze through a gap in the fence and make mess. She added: "Two days in a row, I've asked (told) her to block it up and come round and clear up the enormous piles these two are leaving.

"I'm at my wits end, I just want to move, and she refuses to take accountability.

"I've found myself fancying leaving the side gate open so the dogs can escape next time they come into our garden to teach her to keep them confined, or simply throw it over the fence on top of her half finished second hand conservatory that's been in progress for months."

Her husband suggests keeping the peace but the woman is not sure what more she can do. Many Mumsnet users sent advice, as some people agree she should leave her gate open to help the dogs escape.

One person wrote: "Just leave your side gate open."

While another stated: "I know it is their responsibility but I would put up a strong fence anyways.

"We had to do it, and the neighbour would not contribute to the cost. We put it on our side of the property line."
