A car keeps blocking our access to the road

Stick some bins where they park. People are lazy and will park further down rather than move them.

If that doesn't work then a small polite note superglued to the passenger side of the windscreen.

If that fails, very large less polite note superglued to the drivers side of the windscreen.

If that fails then it's the wheel clamp option.

You don't need glue, just spray the glass with water and then smooth the paper onto it. Sticks just like it's been glued and you can't get done for damaging the car becuase the screen happened to be wet when you put the note on it.

If you have a couple of mates/neighbours, then you can bounce a car out of the way with one person at each corner.

Some of the advice here just invites retaliatory keying.

It could still be classed as criminal damage.

I found this from a posting on an old police forum from 2011 so can't vouch for the information being up to date:

The general rule we applied when I worked Division was as above on the basis that, if it was blockinging the car getting off and it would of been clear to a driver who parked the car it would cause an obstruction to someone trying to leave,

HOWEVER if they returned home and found the obstruction it would still get a ticket, but no Removal as the other party could park elsewhere at that time

The conversation goes on.

The OP's tried that already, hence this thread.

If the road is that narrow are they blocking access for fire engines and ambulances?

If so I would approach the police as a 'concerned resident' rather than a 'blocked parker'.
