I will get my husband on to the council this morning as it has to stop.

The Council will do nothing as it has nothing to do with them, call the police, it is an offence to obstruct and they are required to uphold the law.

(scotland) i used to live on a main road without double yellows anywhere, so legally cars could park on both sides of the road, this would have really bloked it from anythign getting throu so there was a sort of unwritten rule that if you parked on the left you parked on the pavement so cars could get throu.

we regulalry had the right side blocked of with traffic cones cause we were near a football stadium, and while they were happy to impound cars that were were before the cones went out (people on holiday who couldn't move them after the cones appeared etc) they never touched those parked on the pavement.

(england) where I am now locals park fully on the pavment outside there house with no trouble, but the other side of the street is parking meters and there's always wardens about looking for out of 'time' tickets to book people - but they leave those on the pavement alone.

the generall rule seems to be to keep the locals happy in busy areas and let them park on pavements
