Law on getting cars moved that block access to a block of garages?

Question

I rent 2 garages in a block of 9 down a narrow alleyway off my street. In our town we have no traffic warden and the police seem to let people park anywhere. I reported a car parking across the entrance to the block of garages, at 5pm i was told they would try to trace the owner. at 9pm when i called again and asked for it to be towed as i needed to get access i was told all they could do was issue a parking ticket. I was furious they eventually found the owner and got the car moved and did not even issue them a ticket. since then there has been 3 more vehicles in the past week park across the access at different times but i have given up calling the police. Can the police tow these vehicles should i complain to them agian and insist on towing or is there anything i can do, i have contacted the council to get KEEP CLEAR painted on the road but our road is not up for remarking yet, and i am not sure this would stop ignorant parkers.

Answer 1

Try putting traffic cones in the street, out of the flow of traffic, near the edge, enough into the street to stop parking, but not enough to interfere with other traffic, and temporarily removing them when anyone is driving in or out of the garage.

Answer 2

You need to stay on top of this and keep calling the police or better yet contact a police supervisor but as for putting up a tow away sign and getting a tow company to do this for you I would not recommend this because you do not have the right because you do not own the streets and by doing this even if the other party is wrong you will be labile............

Answer 3

you need to put up a sign saying all cars will be towed at owners expense & find a towing company who will work with this. good luck

Answer 4

check your city laws before you do anything.
