I don't know how reliable it is, but this forum thread looks relevant. Maybe you can quote the relevant sections of the Acts to the police to convince them to do something about it (if you do get blocked in/out).

By the way it's not HIS bay, it's just a disabled bay. If you've got any disabled friends invite them round for tea and tell them they can park in that handy bay outside your house.
Other than that contact your council or local PCSO. If the PCSO goes around and has a word it might stop him doing it.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -
As was touched on earlier in the thread, if he's parked blocking you from getting ON to your drive then there may not be any offence being committed (although that's arguable); if he's parked blocking you getting OFF your drive then he IS committing an offence.
The thread posted in #12 gives you the relevant info. Think also about the banning of clamping that gave rise to the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 ... deliberately blocking in a vehicle is akin to clamping.0 -

Indeed. If he's been told about the problem he's causing and still does it than that ought to demonstrate intent. Quite how you get The Plod to take it seriously is another matter entirely.Je suis Charlie.0 -
Private Nuisance laws would probably cover this but would this be a Civil matter?
