Parkers blocking byway

[jasonc]

We live at the end of a long lane which is a public right of way. The top of it where it joins the street is apparently a by-way. This is the only way to the house. Frequently people park very inconsiderately sometimes making it a line ball whether a car can get through. Well, now I have a a big race transporter and the summer will undoubtedly provide instances where I can't get it in or out of the house. Clearly this also applies to emergency vehicles.

If the council won't enforce any parking restrictions (which it won't), what is the situation if mirrors, for example, are taken out accidentaly in getting access to the property?

They are off into town or the park because they won't pay the 50p to park all day in the car park 50 yards away. The only person a horn would annoy is our one neighbour who suffers from it as well (it is a rural area on the outskirts of town).
