“SINISTER” notes have been left on cars by neighbours furious at motorists allegedly taking their parking spaces.
Angry residents in Bristol say cars regularly left overnight on their road should move them and be “mindful” to residents’ parking needs.

BPMOne note was scribbled over accusing the van driver of lying about their reasons for parking on the street[/caption]
The stern printed notes warn drivers: “Dear vehicle owner/driver. The residents of British Road have noticed that you park on this street regularly, yet do not live on the street.
“Please be mindful of the residents who wish to park near their own properties.
“We respectfully ask you to park your vehicle on the street that you live on, in future.”
But a row has exploded between neighbours on the street because there are no parking restrictions or schemes in force.
It means the notes are totally unenforceable and anyone is free to park there.
Despite the lack of rules, residents have continued to wage war on motorists they deem to be infringing on their turf.
And any excuses drivers make appear to be dismissed in an instant.
One unmarked grey van displayed a sign in its dashboard stating they were a “BT engineer on call”.
But incredibly, one resident decided to scribble a notice next to the sign, blasting: “YOU DO NOT WORK FOR BT!!!”
Some residents now say the parking war has spun out of control and the notes “a bit sinister”.
One anonymous local told BristolLive: “Parking is an absolute nightmare around here, and people spend a lot of time driving around looking for a space, so I understand people get frustrated.
“It’s not their road, it’s everyone’s. There’s no residents’ parking scheme here, there’s no restrictions, people can park where they like for however long they want.”
