    We'd this problem.
    We came up with three plans as a community and voted on it.

    We had to have some spaces free for parking.

    Went to the council with the agreed plan.
    One side of the street to have a single yellow line no parking 7 am till 10 am Monday to Friday.
    Other side free parking 24/7.

    Some neighbours on the free parking side still put their cones out though, having benefited from the restrictions on the other side.
    Overall it worked.

    Going back to to the OP, I once lived on a street with several 'cone people' and had the misfortune of parking outside someone's house (they had forgotten to put the cone out) one evening. Next morning my car was boxed in by bothering their cars! The road was a very wide residential one they could double Park and still not block the road. I wasn't happy but wasn't confrontational with the neighbour - he was- as I knew I had to park on the street every night.

    There is a statute dealing with willful obstruction of a car so what he did was completely against the law I had every right to call the guards but would they have any interest?!?

    It's probably easier to let the cone people win lest you find a nice scratch on your car some morning. Sickening really that people can bully their way like that.

    I have CCTV on my car front and rear, not specifically for this but it damn well helps!!!

    Can we please raise the level of posts above this line of drivel, or if not, simply refrain from submitting to the urge to post it?

    I spotted these Garda cones blocking of what looks to be an ordinary residential space on my way home tonight. So are the Gardai really blocking off this space, or did someone manage to get their hands on Garda equpment at one stage?

    Looks like someone borrowed cones I'd say.

    Our old house had issues with parking, very narrow streets in Cork. There is a well known sweet shop by us, they used put those big bollards out to block the front of it. My wife parked one night (the bollard wasn't out) and she was followed to the house by the owner of said sweet shop, he was fuming that she parked in his spot, that's his loading bay. :rolleyes:

    Garda friend of ours told us next time he did something like that we should report him, he's basically blocking public property. Seems like it's an issue around everywhere there's narrow streets or limited parking.

    Anyone who knows Maynooth will know the Dunboyne Road has been coned for at least 15 years.
