Private driveway:

[VW BUSH]

Happens to me all the time.
If you block them in you are breaking the law, well if a traffic warden see's you he will ticket you as I found out to my peril.
Took a lot of negotiation to get him to take it off, lucky I saw him outside and ran out.
Blocking them in causes confrontations, anyone who is cheeky enough to park on someones drive is pretty verbose when they told where to park their cars

I use a 3/4 square marker pen to write on their windscreen some sort of "get orf my land" message.
Usually its some mum taking her kids to the dentist down the road, who drives off breaking the law with an obscured windscreen

You cant clamp them but you can use a company such as http://www.nationalparkingcontrol.co.uk/self.asp

I have done this on a car park I own. Scares the shizzel out of most people into not parking there. The ones that do you can get the company to persue a claim of £60 against them providing you have pictures and follow their instrustions. I have never been down this route as its more as a deterrent really. However should the company be successful you get £15 or something for your troubles.  

With some of the cars that seem to park there your driveway could prove to be a little goldmine

I can't, from 8:30 until 5:30 my shop is open.

I'll probably go with what R32UK said. I can't do any of the stuff I would like to do as it'd discredit the business.

[R32UK]

It cost about £100 to sign up and for that you get the signs, an online account, a badge to show you are authorised to give tickets (which you dont have to wear unless you are confronted) and a book of tickets and wallets to put them in.

 I see this company cover quite a few sites now around the country.... so I also keep some in my glove box in case I have to do some emergency parking of my own

take one of their wheels off and charge them to get it back.

what shop do you run / own?

[Jack3559]

Cheers R32UK will look into it!

It's just a little Hardware/Ironmongers Archie.

Unauthorised presence on your land is trespassing. This is a civil matter, so "Trespassers will be prosecuted" signs are incorrect.

You should erect a sign saying "Private land. No parking. No trespassing".

If people ignore this. Leave a polite note explaining that they are trespassing on private land. If they continue to do so you will sue them in the County Court for a sum equivalent to a fee for the use of the land.

Make a note of times, dates and registration details and descriptions of the driver. CCTV or pics would be better.



You also,unfortunately, owe a duty of care to these trespassers. So giving them a kicking or damaging their car is a big NO NO.

PM me for any more.
