The car circled in the image below and many others pull up and blocks me or whoever else parks there in. I don't know who the owners are so can't ask them to move or stop parking there - what can I do?

    How come you can park there and they cant?

    Surely the other three cars are the ones blocking you in? Unless you show how the Renault is blocking you in it is very difficult to judge.

    I dont think that is the issue, its where they are parking that is causing the problem.

    If the car just parked six foot further forward it would be okay.

    Is that a footpath behind you, or can you get out that way.

    Next time you park, park it where he has parked his this time.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but is that circled car parked in the middle of the road?

    The first port of call might be a polite note left on the windscreen.

    Pavement looks wide enough to nip up, around the Saxo/Land cruiser, then back down again :rotfl:

    Is it not a "first come first serve" basis? e.g. if 2 cars park on 1 side common sense should say parking on the other side will block the first car in. The road is that wide, apologies for the angle.

    Block them in, when they call say sorry but the person with the keys is at work and make them wait a few hours.

    So why is the Renault any worse than the Saxo?

    In this instance the Renault was the last to pull up, so they blocked the others in. In any other situation the other cars could equally be at fault as it would be difficult to judge who did the blocking.
