		<description>I feel there are laws already in place, they just need to be implemented. Easier said than done. I don't feel the reponsibility for enforcing said laws should shift onto the shoulders of a small business.

Suggestion: Quite a number of the local community will carry devices that can take digital photos. Why not have them take pictures of offending vehicles, complete with car registration numbers showing, and have the images date and time-stamped, taken so that the junction is easily identifiable.

Find out the email address of the county police force and forward them on.

If that doesn't work, as in the police take no action, what about the local rag - they need stories and may even print car registration numbers to shame the car owners. The images themselves should be sufficient proof of the car drivers action, thus hopefully avoiding any sort of action by a disgruntled guilty party.

Personally, I feel this is where local communities can/should shoulder a bit of social responsibility. Hope the situation can be resolved as I agree that parking on junctions is a dangerous/irresponsible act on the part of the morons that do it. Rant over. :)</description>

		<description>I recently complained, very politely,  to a mini bus driver that he was completely blocking the pavement whilst he stood in front of his bus, having a fag. I had to walk out into the busy road, between hurtling traffic, with my dog.  He retorted that "As he was picking up a disabled youngster, he could park where he bl***y**ll liked, and anyway, my stinky dog was going to foul the area anyway"

The poo bag that I pulled from my pocket nearly knocked his eye out, and I warned him NOT to try to retaliate before the offence.

On my return trip, he was properly parked and loading the handicapped son of our neighbour onto the bus.  The parents and I exchanged cheery greetings within his hearing, then I made a point of stopping to write down the number of his bus, and telling him that if I ever saw it on a pavement again, I would be calling the police

I suppose I should have called the local council, but then bricks and windows can start to float in the same sentence, can't they?</description>

		<description>You need to take legal action, and soon.

As you said yourself, 

''unfortunate driver, who’d been unsighted by all the parked cars bear the brunt of media and social criticism''

This is unfair, and an exploit in the system.

Take care.</description>
