I have office premises in town with a long drive with walls either side. It's enough for two cars side by side and - at a real push - perhaps 3 cars deep.

Today, I left the car at home and ran to work. My wife was going to park at my work later in the day, in order to take our 2 boys to an event in town. My work colleague was driving in, but running late.

Unbeknown to me (I was in the office and don't have a view of the drive), two idiots had parked side by side at the end of our drive nearest the road, blocking the entire access to the rest of the drive. :mad:

My staff couldn't get in and couldn't park anywhere nearby. My wife and children couldn't get any access either. Clients couldn't get access. I can't believe people are so selfish sometimes.

I have clamped people in the past (invariably more hassle than its worth due to the abuse I get and the interruption it causes to my daily working routine) but stopped doing so when new legislation was introduced a few years back and I would have to buy an annual license for the best part of £100.

What's my best means of tackling this? Buying a license? Can I get someone to just tow these vehicles away if I put up a suitable sign? (not sure that would work as the cars aren't usually there for longer than 20-30 mins at a time, so a good chance they'd have gone by the time anyone arrived to town away). Anything else I can do?

It doesn't happen often but when it does it's a real pain.

move out of town (tounge in cheek) i know the road you mean and it can be a pain in the !!!...........hope you sort it....

chain some wheel clamps to something on your property like a gutter, lamp post etc

this will frighten people

or get a chain

Thanks, gd... and yes, you know where I mean. Errr... in fact, you know too much now that I've mentioned I don't actually have a clamping license - it wasn't you parked there today, was it? :P

Like the idea of having a wheel clamp in view... hmmm...
