If anyone could give me some advise on the following matter I would very much appreciate it...
Basically, I moved into a flat a while ago (renting), and we were told we had use of Both parking spaces on the drive out the front (Landlord owns the freehold or something). Now when we moved in a car was parked in one of the spots so we questioned the landlord and he got on to the flats below us.
One of the flat owners downstairs (one is rented the other is purchased) claimed that he had squatters rights on the parking spot because he had used it for so many years, but when we asked to see some proof he didn't show us, but said he would send it to our Landlord (never happened). We have been trying to get it sorted with the Landlord, but nothing is getting done.
This hasn't been a problem until now as they have branched out their minibus company (they had 1 when we moved in, they now have 4 between 2 of them). So they now take up 4 parking spots in the road with minibuses and the spot on our drive.
Now what I want to know is whether we can do anything about him claiming squatters rights on the drive, something like, asking the council if they have any record of him filing for such a document to entitle him to it, or whether it is even possible...
Second I was wondering if there were any restrictions as to how many vehicles a private company are allowed to park on a public road (long shot I know but there must be some sort of restriction?)
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
