Lease hold - parking on street

Hiya
I've moved to a quiet street with large driveways down the side of properties that can hold up to three cars. Unfortunately, it comes off a busy main road with housing with no parking, so obviously lots of people park down out street. Initially this was on a bend at the top of the road but because it was unsafe, it's had double yellow lines put down. Now, those cars have naturally come creeping down the street. One particular resident has her boyfriend to stay most night's and he almost ALWAYS parks outside ours. I'm probably more frustrated here about the fact that she has plenty of drive space and doesn't move up for him but that's not the point.
Anyway - I've checked my leasehold and it says this:
"Not to stand vehicles upon the roads or ways except for reasonable time outside the premises for loading or unloading) nor place thereon any material which may cause any obstruction to or hindrance of the vehicles entitled to use the said road or ways"
I've interpreted this as we're simply not allowed to park on our street. Am I being too literal? And if I can't, how come people off the main road can?
Would love your advice on this one

Perhaps, perhaps not, but what about members of the public?
