Parking Tanks On My Lawn

I live in a block of private flats with a single access road, the curbs have always been too high to park on. Recent renovations have resulted in very low curbs and now vehicles wholly mount the pedestrian walkways
My management agency, who have usually been excellent in all matters, seem to be ineffective on this single issue
They have employed a Parking Enforcement company, BGS Services Ltd, that doesn't seem to enforce anything after 6PM which is when the problems arise
What recourse do I have?
Who has the ultimate responsibility in these matters?
Where do I go from here?
And any other jolly useful advice you can give me is welcome
Many Thanks

I can't see BGS on the AOS scheme list but their website homepage says they are BPA AOS members?! Yet they are NOT COMPLIANT as regards appeals:
http://www.bgsservicesltd.com/pages/appeals.htm
No mention of POPLA, misleading con rubbish about being 'approved contractors' of the DVLA!!!!! and apparently, any naïve or stupid victims who want to send them money 'have to pay within seven days' for the bribe discount, OMG surely this bunch are not in the BPA AOS?
''BGS Services Limited is unable to enter into any correspondence if an appeal is received after 14 days. Appeals received after 14 days will not be answered.''
Why the heck has everyone living there sleepily allowed/agreed to having ANY private parking co. scammer on site near your property and cars?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:
Home»Motoring»Parking Tickets Fines & Parking - read the NEWBIES THREAD0 -
Yet another example of a management company thinking a PPC is the answer to a problem THEY created (there was one on Pepipoo (I think) where a HA got a PPC in rather than fix the electric access gate).
If you don't want people parking on the pavement, get the management company to reinstate the high kerbs (preferably at their own expense), or install bollards along the edge to prevent cars mounting it.
A PPC is not the answer.0 -
On a question to the bpa via twitter they confirm they are not in the aos
confirm they're not members & we've raised an investigation into their misuse of the @BritishParking logo
So please don't contact these scammersWhen posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.
We don't need the following to help you.
Name, Address, PCN Number, Exact Date Of Incident, Date On Invoice, Reg Number, Vehicle Picture, The Time You Entered & Left Car Park, Or The Amount of Time You Overstayed.

When you say "curbs" does this mean "kerbs" (as in the stone blocks at the edge of the pavement) or "curbs" (verb, restrain or keep in check.).
Perhaps you need high kerbs to curb parking on the walkway.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0 -
A few rounds from the tanks should suffice.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0
