Thanks Ericsbrother, I went home last night to stick the note on his windscreen... but his car wasn't there! Purely by chance, I spotted it later on parked in the yard of a nearby double glazing firm. I've not spoken to him since Friday, so maybe someone else has hassled him into moving. Whether he has permission to park there (knowing him, I doubt it) I don't know, but it's a big yard so maybe they'll let him stay there. I hope so! So, that could be problem solved - fingers crossed. Thanks for your advice everyone!

Thanks for all the advice, folks. I think my next step will be to stick the attached (hope it uploads, I'm new to this) on his windscreen tonight and hope that works. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54584[/ATTACH]

Thanks, Reallymad, We actually had bollards on the street for around 15 years, up until a couple of years ago when one of them was vandalised. Unfortunately, since then, the residents of the street have changed. Several are now short-term tenants rather than owners and they're not interested in the expense of new bollards, even though it wouldn't cost very much. Parking the guy in is a good idea, but a bit tricky. I'd be quite happy to do it, but he's now stopped parking near my house and tends to park at the far end of the street where several old people live, and as I've mentioned above, he's already threatened one of them when asked to move. Could be an option though if he parks near my part of the street again!

Thanks for that. I knew it was illegal to have him clamped, but not that towing was illegal too. Shame. I'd love to put the awkward so and so to as much trouble as possible.

Thanks Erics, I don't know exactly where the guy lives, only that he lives in the nearby flats. I have his registration though, so if the DVLA won't give me his address, I'm sure a solicitor could find out. I'm really hoping not to go down the solicitor route. I'm pretty sure he's unemployed, so I doubt I'd get the costs back. I can see it leading that way though. He really is a nasty piece of work. He physically threatened (unfortunately with no witnesses) a 74 year old man who lives at the end of the street when he asked him to move. I like the idea of having him towed though. I hadn't thought of that! I'll maybe look into that and see if it works out cheaper than a solicitor.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on the below situation:- I live in a privately owned street. It's owned and maintained by the residents. We have signs at both ends of the street clearly stating that the street is private property and parking is for residents only. Most days there is just about enough space on the street for the residents to park. Recently someone from the nearby flats has started parking on our street, meaning that on occasions, there is not enough parking space. I, and a number of other residents have asked him to move and he has flat out refused. We've also attached a couple of notes to his windscreen which he's ignored. I spoke to him again on Friday and he finally agreed to stop. And he did.. .for two days. His car has been there again since yesterday evening. I've done a bit of online research, and as far as I can see, the police/traffic wardens won't be do anything about it, as this is a civil matter, rather than a legal one. It seems as though I may be able to pursue civil action against him through a solicitor (I have photographic evidence of his car parked in our street), but this seems like a lot of trouble and/or expense and is a last resort. Can anyone suggest anything that I can try? Thanks! Simon
