Our house is on a private managed estate. We have signs up saying residents only and a parking permit system but no ticketing.

There are 1 or 2 consistent offenders who park here evry day during the week and walk into nearby offices.

Is there anything legally that can be done to address this before I go down the route of hiring a private ticketing company?

Looks like we will have to go down the route of hiring a private enforcement company.

Buy some wheel clamps, and put up a sign warning that and any unauthorised cars will be clamped and the release fee is £175
Considering wheel clamping on private land is illegal.... Useless advice. Thanks for your input though.

Notes have been left but ignored.

I will get some quotes from private parking enforcement firms as there are no other options left. All other residents agree and are happy to pay for the cost of this.

No real point going to the company. It is a massive council company that probably has about 5000 staff in the officers. Most train in or use Park & Ride but a few just park in private estates nearby.
