Is it illegal for a fairground to be erected next to a house?

I would be speaking to the local council as this is not acceptable right next to a home. In respect to the driveway. A friend of mine had a similar experience. So he parked his car in behind them. When they returned and knocked on his door he said it is not his car. They will jut have to wait. He has already taken photos of all the vehicles. He made the driver wait an hour before moving his car and letting him out. Another example of this is a house In Leura, NSW Australia. It is very close to the shopping area. I happen to see the owner trying to get passed a car that was blocking his driveway. He said this happened often. If it was me I would be buying a 4 x 4 and just ramming my way out. In your case if you have no front fence / gates, you could run rope across the front yard and driveway.

If they have permission from the council, there isn’t anything you can do. Unfortunately, this is the sort of thing you have to put up with when you live near public land. Unless you live in a conservation area or something, where you could talk about the impact on the land, you pretty much have to put up with it for now. Once it’s gone, I would organise the local community to put pressure on the council to not allow this again in the future, and to keep doing so until they get the message. Also, if people do park across your drive, preventing you from leaving, well that’s illegal and I would call the attention of the local authorities to this. Yes, they probably won’t do anything, but keep pestering them enough and they’ll be just as keen as you to avoid it in the future.
