Parking on Pavements

No one has a right to park on the Queens highway. Anyone doing so is causing an obstruction. However, on a practical side, it would be better to remove the valve cores from the tyres. It is hilarious watching someone trying to inflate a tyre with no valve core with a foot pump. What is more hilarious is watching the ATS monkey trying to inflate the tyre with a compressor. They do all the tyres in quick time and can't work out why the tyres won't hold air.

TBH I doubt the police will be at all interested in pressing the matter. You can find MUCH more stupid examples of parking.

Certainly in the area I live in it would be ignored. If you can get a double buggy past then it is not an obstruction as far as the police are concerned. In the photos there appears to be very little obstruction to pedestrian traffic nor any obstruction to pedestrians vision who wish to cross the road.

My suggestion would be to give up on the legal route as the police are not interested and try the councils medition service for neighbour disputes.

As to advocating causing damage  [-X [-X [-X [-X

Blocking him in. Not big and not clever. One photo of you parked in the same situation and any case you have will go right out the window not to mention you having a visit from the police.

My main concern is people can`t see to cross the road. What if an accident was to occur ? Who would be to blame ?
I live very close to a crossroads and this car blocks the view of people trying to pull out of a side road.
Many people have passed comments but don`t want to complain.
I think the owner of the car is just pushing things and seeing how far he can go.

You are going into a very grey area with those tactics, you could end up with the police visiting you for criminal damage complaints.  Best not to retaliate, as it will only increase your problems.
Sometimes life sucks and there is nothing you can do, I think you have got a reasonable and valid concern but not one in which the law has been breached.  You can only try to get your council interested in the problem, try to get a copy of the bylaws relating to private vehicles. This maybe your best help to sorting out the problem.
