Welcome to my world! I also live near the shopping centre and I put up with this type of parking on a daily basis by lots of different cars. When I rang the police and asked if I was allowed to call a tow truck and have them towed away they asked me not to be hasty and give the person time to come back and have a little chat with them! I'd be out there on guard all day if I did that!
I got in touch with council but they pass the message on to the park rangers and when they get there - is when they get there. I've never seen a park ranger anywhere near my house.
I've offered to be a volunteer parking officer, but didn't get taken up on it. I fail to see why they are ignoring this easy revenue. Not just from the people who overhang my driveway but from the people who park in the empty block next door and all the cars parked in the laneway behind the shops under the No Parking signs! I could issue an easy 10 tickets x 3 times a day and walk no further than 50 metres from my house!
I did get council out once to address the parking in the empty block and the overhanging and they came up with the solution of ...................wait for it.................. 2 Hour Parking Signs outside my house!!!!!!!!!! Idiots!
PS: The empty block is owned by the Medical Centre behind and it's against the law to use residential property for commercial purposes - only the owners of the property can park in there. Yeah right. Not only do their staff park in there but lots of ordinary shoppers use it.
Here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure. If you find out a way of getting action I'd be pleased to hear it.
