    Buy a £50 banger and park it there yourself, wont solve the problem but at least you'll get the satisfaction they cant park there anymore.
    A "£50 banger" is still going to need an MOT and insurance. How much will this add to the cost?

    A £50 trailer would do the trick without needing to be insured or MOTd. Not saying I recommend that but... it's an option.

    If a trailer is left in the Highway it can be removed as it is an illegal obstruction.

    The amount of people suggesting criminal damage on here just sums up what this country is turning into. I’m surprised at the number with a complete disregard for the law. It’s also a completely stupid suggestion given they know where you live and generally peoples houses are far more valuable than peoples cars.

    I must have missed the post where someone advised smashing the window.
    If someone wants to park like that, so close so the guy can't even get his bins out, it's only normal that someone may accidentally knock the car when they're walking past with a bag etc.
    It's like when you park at the supermarket. You can park right on the white line and technically be doing nothing wrong. Don't be surprised when you come back to your vechicle though and it's got a dent or scratch, because the person next to you has had to struggle to get in their own vehicle.
    Whoever is parking there has no consideration and sometimes that has consequences.
