Whats the law on having no option but to reverse 100 Mtrs down a road?

My garage is situated along a single lane (dead end) road (still part of the highway its as got street lighting) the only way we can get out is to drive out and then reverse along the road approx 100Mtrs onto a main road because somebody parks to the left of my Garage so we can't get the "Swing to drive in or out as we would like. The council were very helpful and came and painted a full width KEEP CLEAR (Nice big 2 Meter high letters) sign on the road which runs from approx half way down my neighbour’s gardens to each side of my garage which would give me the much needed swing both ways to get out. But our neighbour is ignoring this sign (which is only advisory as I have been told) we called the police but they told me he is committing no offence because I can reverse all the way down the street so it’s not an obstruction even though he parks half on half off the pavement.

I have read somewhere that it is still obstruction if you wilfully make it impossible or difficult to allow free traffic along a highway.

Is there anything I can do to make the police enforce section 137 of the highways Act. regarding obstruction

Any help would be much appreciated

You need to verify that it is an adopted highway then try your local council, they have control over parking on pavements. Pavement parking is an offence unless the bays are marked and signs displayed permitting it.
Drag a parking attendant along to issue a ticket


Buy a scrap car and block the road further down (after you have left)
