  • Housing association parking issues

    Hi,

    looking for advise and information regarding housing association parking and the laws and rules that surround it. I live within a neighbourhood that our local housing association owns a number of houses and bungalows as well as patches of small green amenity land, parking bays etc. There are 2 sets of parking bays in our neighbourhood. After contacting the housing association about these they say one is first come first serve but the other is for customers only. I have asked for any evidence of this because on another occasion I spoke with there legal advisor in an attempt to purchase some land for a space. They explained to me it was for the use of all residents. Now they refuse to give me evidence to confirm who is right merely stating the legal advisor was confused which spaces I was talking about. This is despite the picture sent showing exactly where. So I am being told I cannot use these spaces by this latest person the neighbourhood manager. There are no signs to say these are customer only.

    So my question is what can they do? What can I do? Conflicting opinion of usage, no signage, no evidence of usage(not even ownership). These spaces are more secluded and this is why I want to use them. It keeps your car out of sight of pedestrians. The neighbourhood manager has said she has taken photos of what she believes to be my car. Can they legally check the owner? Do they need proof this car is not a customers? I have been told by residents close to these spaces that another resident's daughter works for this housing association. It is a very small team and it makes me wonder if this is the same person I'm emailing and they are putting up walls and trying to bar me from using these spaces as it is her parents living on the edge of these secluded spaces and she wishes for me to leave it empty for them. Probably not the case but she is very hostile towards me in comparison to other members of this association.

    Are there any signs in the area about parking? Or do you pass any?

    They can check with the DVLA to get the registered keeper details. There is no such thing as registered owner

    If access is freely available and no signs then use a space. At worst they can claim for trespass but all they would get is nominal damages, perhaps £1
