I don;t know about this new law, but if you have a dropped kerb to your driveway then the offender is obstructing the public highway, as the ' highway' is deemed to include the area across the footpath to your drive. I believe you can get the police out to do something about it. Is this still not the case? I watched something similar transfold in Dartmouth Road a few weeks ago.


It used to be that if you were blocked on your drive you could call the police out... the new law changes this.
It allows your council to issue a fine to the offender and, in some cases, also remove the vehicle.
If you have ever had to call the police out on such a matter you no doubt know that they, historically, have been far too busy. I don't belive that's changed.
USE THE NEW LAW THROUGH YOUR COUNCIL WHICH HAS A STATUTORY DUTY TO ACT - IF NOT SUE IT.
