Happy New Year! Well, you have been busy bees over the holidays. All those questions you’ve wanted to write but never had the time … until now.
So we’re back with a bang and for some reason, several of the posts in this week’s bumper crop are about parking.
One reader wants to know what they can do about a rogue parker who isn’t even a resident of the building.
Warning notices are ignored and they park all day and every day, having been let into the block by a resident. So who gets the Notice to Comply and on what grounds? That’s HERE.
One thought, he could take a look at the clip below which shows how you can move cars without towing them.
And you can read this story about how one frustrated driver used “ghost parking” to move a vehicle that was regularly blocking his car.
Then we have two very different parking questions from another reader.
Firstly he wants to know what he needs to do to be allowed to dock his kayaks in his parking space. That’s HERE.
Then he wonders how much it would cost to officially and legally swap parking spaces with his neighbour. That’s HERE.
Apart from all that, there’s a whole stack of questions and answers to launch us into this new year. Strap yourselves in – we’re up and running again.
