Vehicles

If your neighbour is parking in a manner which obstructs your ability to enter or leave your home and/or allocated parking space, start by speaking to them first; they may not be aware their actions are causing you a problem.

If the problem continues and the land is managed by us please contact us with details.

If the car is on a public road this needs to be reported to Blackpool Council: Blackpool Council | Reporting parking problems

This refers to the repairing of vehicles in the street and is aimed at those carrying out repairs as part of running a vehicle repair business, and not individuals repairing their own cars/bikes.

If you are being disturbed by a neighbour carrying out repairs, start by speaking to them, they may not be aware they are disturbing you. If the problem continues and you believe an offence is occurring then you can either:

• If it is on a public highway, contact Blackpool Council who can investigate and consider action under the Clean Neighbourhood and Environment Act 2005.
• If the land is managed by Blackpool Coastal Housing, and they are causing a persistent noise nuisance by undertaking the repairs, please report incidents to us.

We would not normally consider this to be anti-social behaviour.

We would suggest you have a friendly word with your neighbour first as they may not be aware that they are disturbing you. Please see information on this website for additional guidance under the ‘Resolving problems with your neighbours’ section.

If the behaviour is persistent (the disturbance lasts for continuous periods of over 30 minutes a day, for at least 5 days within 1 week) and includes revving of engines, sounding horns, during the day or at night time, and you do not feel safe in approaching your neighbour, or you have tried and the situation has not improved, please make reports to us.

If you believe that a Road Traffic Offence has been committed, such as speeding or dangerous driver, you should report the incident and circumstances as soon as possible to your local Police.

Report to the police on 101 or 999
