Make it an offence to park over or impede a driveway

Petition Details

If one pays the council to have dropped curb access to a driveway or garage the council should be responsible to ensuring that, that access remains unimpeded. I believe that parking over a drive in any way should be an offence punishable by receiving a parking ticket.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Under the Traffic Management Act 2004, local authorities already have the power to take action when a vehicle is parked alongside a dropped kerb. Action to regulate and enforce pavement parking or parking alongside dropped kerbs is strictly a matter for the relevant local authority.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
