Parking problems

No offence committed in blocked ACCESS to a driveway, but yes to being denied access to the Queens highway.

Not a great deal you can do about this to be honest - but I'd start to go down the route of "Breach of the peace" especially since you've requested a few times to keep the entrance clear.
The police may step in if this is happening regularly and it's the same person doing it, ie a form of bullying.

I just love the 'inventiveness' of some of your answers , if only i had the nerve to do it !

Personally, I would take a hammer and apply it to every visible pane of glass on the vehicle, lights and windows.

Our car parking is all shared here but a disabled neighbour has just had the Space closest to her home painted up and marked as disabled, I would presume she contacted her local council about this, maybe worth a try.
It is frustrating my dad has just had the White lines added outside his house as even tho he parked on his drive people kept insisiting on parking outside it and then blocking him in, this has detered people and I know he did see the council for this,

The council would not do this for the OP as she has off-road parking already. Also a disabled space can be used by anyone with a blue badge, so even if it outside your house it doesn't make it your space.

Ask the council about dropped kerb enforcement, hassle the police, get four trolley jacks and "move" the car in to the middle of the road.

Don't need four trolley jacks. I am not advising it, but you can bounce cars to move them. Get a person on each corner of the car. All push the car down at the same time using the suspension to bounce the car. Get a rhythm going and whilst bouncing the car shove the car to where you want it. So bounce, bounce, bounce, push, bounce, bounce, push sort of thing and you can move the car.

Some houses close to mine have a driveway and a disabled space marked across the front of it, so even though they already have the off-road parking, there can be a specific space marked out for them too - maybe this is dependent on the local council and not all would do it.

I'd go round and knock on your neighbour's doors and just explain the situation. I know when you phoned up the person who answered was abusive but you may have caught them on a bad moment and they may not be your actual neighbour just a visitor. Neighbours generally want to get along and should be understanding of your issue.

On a slight tangent I accidentally blocked my neighbour in by 7 inches at my old house (could have easily got out) when parking at night after a long drive back. They called the police rather than just knocking on the door and I came out to 2 officers with a tape measure who'd measured how much they'd blocked us in by and informed me I had to move my car or I'd be fined. Of course I moved my car, I would have if they'd just knocked and asked but it ruined relations between my house and theirs which culminated in a massive showdown in the street between our Landlord's wife and them. Calling the police shouldn't be your first course of action in these situations!

You could try leaving a polite note on the window and/or phone the local highways to enquire as to whether you can have lines painted. Sometimes people who would park close to driveways would not park on the white lines... Good luck.

Hope this helps - http://www.sefton.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=3186#1 (not my council but it's good on explaining).

The above link talks about it being enforceable by CEOs. However this only applies (outside Greater London) if a TRO is in place for said dropped kerb.

I don't think councils do TROs for individual dropped kerbs
