I’m not sure why the law thinks it’s fine for someone to come onto my property and damage it without my rights being considered.

Why do you think "the law thinks it's fine"? Obviously you have rights, the difficulty is you don't have evidence of what happened. That isn't the law's fault.

The law doesn't think that. The law enables you to seek compensation from the party who caused that damage.

Your problem is to identify him. Nothing to do with the law.

You have absolutely no evidence as to who caused the damage and because of your anger you want to affect the access rights for those holding those rights.  Just install some ring cameras or similar and learn your own mistakes here.

I wouldn't be so dismissive of the Amazon investigation.

The company will know which van/driver it was that made the delivery and will no doubt inspect the van for damage and question the driver.

These things happen and that is why they will have insurance.  Companies with fleets the size that Amazon has will be used to such claims.

The law also says that - unless he reported to the police - the driver has committed a criminal offence.

Access for emergency vehicles would have to be m,aintained. 

How do you envisage that would happen?

Access for all vehicles would have to be maintained.  The OP has no rights to decide what visitors his neighbours can and cannot have.

Which is why I asked how he envisaged a gate working.

It could ony work if it was locked and all neighbours had a key so they could unlock it for themselves or visitors.

But what aboutt he ambulance that arrives in the middle of the night or the fire engine ?  There may not be any body to unlock the gate as they are all asleep, and the person with the emergency is not in a fiot stae to go and unlock a gate,

Cheaper to get a ring doorbll or CCTV, neither of which would prevent access to anybody.

Equally what if a delivery driver arrives in the middle of the day and no one is around and he cannot access the houses to drop of the package because of a locked gate ?  The op has no right to restrict access.

Precisely.  But the OP wants to prevent deovery vehicles entering.

It will endup the gate is left open in anticipation of someone arriving which defeats the purpose

How does one end up in the situation where the road is owned by. 

Is it either the OP builds some properties on their land and then has to give rights to access

or the OP buys the property which already owns the road with rights of access

I guess there are other scenarios but either way the OP can’t change those rights of access

maybe the OP has calmed down now and realised that
