Know how you feel as I live in a similar cul de sac which has become festooned with neighbours cars despite all the houses having off street parking.
Part of my property includes a side garden which visitors had taken to parking on and when politely telling them it is my garden, just getting ignorance and indifference.
So I bought some great garden posts I found on line and some caravan red \ white reflectors. Installed them and blow me if within 5 days, neighbour's daughter who cant reverse knock one out. So replaced it and a couple of nights later, noticed her attempting to reverse off her drive and heading straight for the same post!
I went outside and said she needed to stop and go more to the right else she'd hit the post again. She's effing and blinding so I said she can swear all she wants but Im not moving until she reverses out without hitting the post.
Had to laugh as she then switched off the engine and said, 'Im not moving' to which I replied 'Neither am I!'
The stand off lasted about 15 minutes before she phoned her brother (in the house!) and got him to reverse the car.
Had a word with her mother who was very apologetic so now the daughter leaves her car elsewhere in the cul de sac now (not affecting anyone's access).
