Is that a disused water trough to the side of the blue bin?

No,  just a raised bed I think.

The first time an ambulance or fire engine can’t get through, you’ll end up with a residents parking scheme.  And they are effective.

As others have said, its a verge so you are going to have no hope claiming they have removed a parking space.

How many cars do you have vs driveway spaces?

It’s on public council land, not your allocated private parking space so it’s their land not yours to do with what they like!

You could always, on principal, refuse to be connected to the FTTP equipment when offered.

Not for me, and apparently neither the house it lovingly blocks light to.

I think claiming that a telegraph pole blocks light to a house, lovingly or otherwise, is stretching it just a bit.....

That's what I was thinking. If you're gonna come out against something, make sure you're on solid ground first.

Edit to correct a typo.

The lack of parking is not a reason to park illegally nor is the lack of parking the problem of the council. I agree with some of the others, if you complain too much I wouldn't be surprised to see double yellows start to appear or a residents parking scheme. 

If you need to park elsewhere you'll have to seek out other parking opportunities or alternatively move to a property with enough space for your cars.

Needless to say this post having removed an illegal parking space is not grounds for objection, nor is a reduction to the value of your property.

Had a similar issue when I lived on a narrow street of terraces. Not enough on street parking for those with 3 cars in their two bedroom two-up two-down.

The council put speed bumps on that road as it was used as a rat run, and the sign that advised them of the new controls was plonked on the footpath where a neighbour would usually squeeze two cars. 

Plenty of moaning and groaning ensued, but nothing was ever done, and I don't believe it should have been.

What others have said, its not your land so you cannot object. You and all your neighbors need to park responsibly, not on pavements. If you don't have enough parking then move to somewhere that can accomodate.
