Hi .My husband and I both have mobility problems and have Blue Badges ,we repeatedly cannot use our car as people some of them neighbour's park in front of our drive. We have repeatedly asked the main offender to refrain from doing it but today she parked completely blocking our drive even though there was plenty of room' when we have asked her to move on previous occasions she has been unpleasant so we tend to just stay in if possible .How do we go about getting lines painted or something done to stop it ???? Thanks twinny

If they are blocking you on your drive call the police (not 999) as they are breaking the law, maybe a visit from the police might make them stop.
If they are blocking from getting back on your drive then (stupid as it sounds) they are not breaking the law!
For a long term solution (as the above say) contact your local authorities highways department.

Actually, a relevant question for the OP is...
Do you have a dropped curb for your driveway? because if you don't you can't legally drive over the path to gain access or egress to/from your driveway so you shouldn't even be parking your car on your driveway.
If you haven't got a dropped curb then applying for a dropped curb is your first step, if you do have a dropped curb then see the other answers above.

The law changed around 2008/2009 meaning it is an offence to park in front of a dropped kerb, regardless of whether the homeowner is obstructed from getting on or off his drive, so phone the police.
