Blocked in our driveway

Reported via mobile in the Blocking a private drive category anonymously at 20:02, Wednesday 3 July 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 week, 15 hours, 20 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 6188319.

Due to the blind bend, no double yellow lines and people constantly parking their cars opposite (which sit for days) we often cannot get in and out of our own drive. I have already damaged my car once due to it being so tight and trying to avoid the other car. Technically it is on a junction and close to a dipped kerb so people should not be parking there. We need double yellows and enforcement.

Updates

  • This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.

    All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any markings that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already be aware of this issue and have raised a job to have them refreshed if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.

    If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works to be carried out at a later date.

    Please note, the ambient temperature drops, and the air becomes much more humid during the winter months and materials won’t bond with the surface when it’s wet, defeating the purpose of applying them at all. Adding markings to a wet surface will essentially mean they become diluted. The moisture present on the road and also in the air will affect the finished quality of the markings, impacting their appearance and longevity, for this reason we only refresh road markings during winter months if there is a specific safety issue.

    There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
