Some parking issues can be reported online
Whether or not you should report parking offences to us depends on what and where the issues has occurred.
If the vehicle is parked:
You can report these to us online.
However, if the vehicle is parked:
Please report it to your local council.
An abandoned vehicle is one which has not been moved or attended to for a long time.
If you know the vehicle owner, our first advice would be to ask them politely to move it. However, do not take the law into your own hands by intervening, such as making physical threats or attempting to move the vehicle yourself. You may make the situation worse and even risk committing an offence yourself.
If you find one, you can report an abandoned vehicle to us online here.
If someone has parked in your designated parking space without your permission, our first advice is always to try and resolve the issue peacefully yourself. If you can’t find the driver to speak to them, try leaving a polite note on their windscreen.
If you lease a property with a parking space, please contact whoever is responsible for your building, such as the freeholder, council or managing agent.
If the issue continues, you can report antisocial behaviour using our online service.
If someone parks their vehicle on your driveway without your permission, this is trespassing. This is a civil dispute and not something we can help you with. If it happens repeatedly with the same person / vehicle you might want to seek advice from Citizens Advice or a solicitor, but we would always recommend having a polite word with the driver first, as there may have been a simple misunderstanding.
If someone has blocked your driveway so you can’t drive in, we appreciate this can be very frustrating.
If you can find the owner of the vehicle, we’d first recommend asking them politely to move it. If you can’t find them, try leaving a note on their windscreen. After all, they may not realise they have caused a problem.
If this doesn’t work, please contact your local council.
If a person has blocked your driveway and is preventing you from getting your own vehicle out, we may be able to help. You can report antisocial behaviour online.
