Can someone park across my driveway and leave it all day?

Can someone just park across my driveway and leave it all day? These drivers don't always park fully across my driveway but just enough to make it difficult getting my car out of the driveway gates. If I attempt to get my car onto the road, hitting their car in the process, I am liable. There's no drop kerb to the entrance of my property (cost over £1000 for the council to organise one for me). It's nearly always a different car each day.

If you don't have a dropped kerb and there is no official double line then anyone can park alongside the kerb at any time. If you pay to have a dropped kerb installed that is when you start to have rights against vehicles blocking your entrance.
