Causing an obstruction so it's illegal, inconsiderate parking, or this okay in your book?

In fact Paul, Mike the car that you can see through the windows is also parked on the grass verge and/or edge of the path! And that car belongs to the neighbour (who couldn't get her own car into her own drive because she 'stores' vehicles for her son) who owns a local garage!

I suspect the time will come when action will need to be taken re the parking obstruction as shown, because it's not being fair to the disabled. As Mike points out those with electric vehicles, pushchairs, zimmer frames, sticks would struggle to get past.

I've found it, Section 28 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847, Penalty on persons committing any of the offences herein named. Down the list of the wierd and wonderful offences:-

Every person who flies any kite, or who makes or uses any slide upon ice or snow:

 So watch what you're doing with your kite James Laughing 

Apologies for going OT Ron.

A few 'accidentally' dropped carpet tacks would be a good idea!!!

Regarding Kites, my mate sends a fair sized kite now and again with a camera attached and gets some amazing images. The police have stopped now and again but only out of interest usually.

  I have already made my views known as a comment on the picture but as a wheelchair pusher I am in complete agreement with Ron and the rest of you. Many a time we have had to make a detour from the path into the road to get round numskulls such as this "person" and did anyone notice - it is a BMW, judging by their driving as a rule this parking is not a surprise. I did also note the car through the window is iffy parked and the car opposite has it's doors opened into the road so any car driving along here is going to be all over the place as well.  Time to move Ron?
