Si - you know what our street is like for parking, we were told that A- if the driveway is empty it is NOT an offence to block it -- but B if drive way is in use then it IS an offence, and as such Police can be involved..
Only problem is our local plod take about 4 days to respond to NON 999 calls (sorry any officers on here) :police: and although there is a station 1/2 a mile away - we are directed to ring a station 5 miles away 8-[

Alternativly if you have access to the right paint you could try and save yourself a few £ but might count as vandalism.

The 'H's are now FREE , you just have to ring Highways dept. of your local Council- we have had one put outside.. but they will only put them on the width of any drop kerb, we have a 2 car drive - but only 1 side is dropped :(

That's all he needs, as if a car parked outside his house isn't bad enough, he might end up with Helicopters there instead :shock:

i had a problem with the local council blokes when they were refurbing the few houses on our street, one day really hacked off i asked them to move their reply was in a bit i told them they were making me late for school with my children they just smiled and said later i went to get camera started to take photos they asked what for i said evidence, if you wont move it i will i then went to turn the disco round so they could see the winch bumper, slowly went down my drive and said either you move it or i will inching slowly towards their van, first they said you wouldn't i replied watch me and went mm's to it they soon ran and moved the van and guess what no council vans ever parked in front on my drive, on ringing the police up before this i was told that we could remove them with reasonable force. i dont know if i had gone through with it but i made my point and when i see any body block my drive i give them about 15 mins and then start piping my horn saying i need to go out they dont do it again
Guardian.:
just set light to it, and every replacement motor till he gets the message.
glad my nearest neighbour is 2 miles away, and the road is a mile down the farm track.
some people are just put on this planet to wind up everyone.
