If the vehicles being left on the driveway are untaxed, doesn't that technically make them abandoned, and therefore local Council's responsibility for removal?
Private property, therefore not until Council control.Sources:

It might depend on the area though, and they might not be very quick to act. Personally, I would contact them anyway, just in case they have a team who are quite on the ball about this kind of thing, but in the meantime I'd also be going down the route of CPM self-ticketing or something similar.

Yes. There should be no difficulty complying with the simple procedures to deal with this ongoing nuisance.
The Protection of Freedoms Act is there to prevent abuse and will not stand in the way of OP solving this genuine parking issue. OP says he has previously confronted the driver so the identity is clearly known.
Clearly you havent the faintest idea what you are on about. Keep believing the tripe you post The Protection of Freedoms Act is there to prevent abuse and will not stand in the way of OP solving this genuine parking issue.

If the entrance to your car park is narrow enough you might get away with just one of these. They can be automated to work from a remote control but that adds to the cost.

Not bad at £210 between all the freeholders

let your kids play in the parking lot near those cars. a few "accidental" scratches on the paint will cut down the profit margin which will easily sway him to park elsewhere.
there are many other ways to devaluate that kind of asset. admitedely not very lawful. but i doubt he would go to the police saying he's untaxed car was damaged in a private car park that he doesnt own by someone that may or may not be one of the members of the collective that owns said car park.
apart from declaring the cars as abandoned to the police. i cant think of anything else that will help you without bothering all the collective that owns the parking lot.

If the road that services the parking spaces is owned/adopted by the Highways agency you could offer the places to them for adoption. It would mean they're technically free for all to use but the vehicles would need to be taxed and insured to avoid removal.
Also this would save you from being responsible for the continued upkeep of the spaces.
Alternatively close the management company, I think I am correct in saying unclaimed land becomes the property of the local council and therefore their responsibility, they will then try to push it on to the Highways agency as they don't want it either.
The management company scheme is something developers do to avoid liability for the upkeep of highways,open spaces and parking, as the property gets older the potential expense of repairing the spaces etc can devalue your property, it can also cause arguments as to who decides at which point repairs are required. The 4x4 owner will not be as concerned about ruts as the Lotus driver
Good luck.

Let the ltd co directors resolve to allocate parking bays to each of the flats - if you can make a quorum (read the memorandum of association). The people who want to pay for a lockable bollard to their parking bay are free to do so. If they don't it is their problem who parks there.
Better: resolve to erect a fence and lockable gate. Don't give a key to flats who don't pay - decided by resolution.
Resolve to sell the carpark for development as it is apparently not needed (or perhaps on the proviso a sufficient gated floor for parking is included in the new building). That may just wake the other leasehold co directors up to the issue and get them into addressing the matter.

From where do people get this sort of nonsense?The most common is where a registered company is wound up and dissolved without all its property being accounted for in the liquidation."
