Gosh, that is long gone!

It was the Valley Lodge. The nightclub was below the hotel.

Hotel went to Moat House, in the Moat House demise it is now a Holiday Inn.

Sadly the local cattle market, aka Valley Lodge has long gone!

Used to be called Equivinox for a short time before its demise.... I remember going there with just 7 of us in the whole club!

Yes Valley Lodge...In my day it used to be good for a 'posh' night out many many years ago and good for pulling higher class totty ... hey ho everything changes

Ok, here's an update.

Neighbours opposite are both brothers, three vans and 2 cars between them and one parking space (as he has not built the last two despite building the extension since May!!)

Since New Years Day when they blocked my drive and agreed with police not to park inconsiderately on my side again, they went back to their old tricks on 2nd Feb, parking on the pavement outside my house.

Police called them to park considerately and legally.

Today - parked on the road, not pavement (legal in that repsect) but he was parked right up to the edge of my drive making access very hard. This is harrassment.

PCSO's came round tonight to see what is happening and agreed that the van parked up to the edge of my house when his house has nothing outside is wrong. Sadly he was not in tonight, but they will pop round when he is back in.

Can't wait to see if this is the end of it, or not!

They have Mafia connections. Horses head anyone?

TBH I think you are wasting your time. The guy is not parked illegally, if he was they would have ticketed him. How far can it go when he isn't breaking the law?

I would guess that they will do something if he keeps blocking your drive, but not if he is just parked next to it, no matter how close....

Yes, but.... To park unreasonably close to a drive making access difficult is being downright arkward - as the police have already asked him THREE times to behave like a decent person and he is still rebelling, then there is a clear case of harrassment, so say the PCSO's......

Back home tomorrow evening, will be interesting to see if van issue still an issue.

You can actually park legally right across the front of someone's drive as long as there is no car on the drive itself. A policeman told me this so it must be true.

In other words suck it up Wilmslow

Update.

I still have the gypsys van outside my house, despite his side of the road being the clearer view and not used. Arrogant git….. Hence I visited the police station last night after getting nowhere by phone.

Knocked on the door of a house also suffering another of the vans – never met her before, lovely lady. Much wine was consumed and she phoned round other neighbours also harassed. Poor lady was on the edge of a breakdown over the guys behaviour.

At least three households are all going to call the PC I spoke to last night (sho promised to come round but did not). The local police website has her sergeants details, so will give her to the weekend then invite her sergeant over for a neighbourhood meeting.

As a ‘hobby’ I am a counsellor for children by telephone, so recognise the harassment and stress that several neighbours are experiencing, and how it can consume lives.

One of the guys has a garage business with trade insurance – says he will plonk the next taxed and tested car outside my drive when the van is not there (if he ever moves it!). If not moved, being a mechanic he can shift it himself!

I live in a lovely peaceful neighbourhood with nice 2 bed semi’s and elderly folk. This guy has changed his 2 bed into a 5 bed gypsy den with random vans including people urinating in the back garden and treating the field at the back as their own garden having built over theirs.

Assuming police to naff all, how do I go about getting somebody painfully killed??

Try moving house instead.

[Wilmslow]

Try moving house instead.

Thought of that with my new job 60 miles away.

there is a problem in moving - the outside of the house is a rubbish tip and there are always loads of random cars, vans and chav behaviour from the house.

Also, the extension is very imposing with the obvious parking problems even from a reasonable neighbour.

Sadly, my house is now very unsellable meaning hard to even sell and move on

Where do you live Wilmslow?

hazard a guess?
