The Highways Act 1980 s148(c) and 149 make it an offence to deposit anything on the highway �to the interruption of any user of the highway� (Level 3 fine).
If such an offence occurs the owner of the object may be issued with a notice to remove within a set time. If this notice is not complied with the local authority may
apply to a magistrate�s court for a removal and disposal order.
And c.137(1) make it an offence to obstruct free along a highway - level 3 penalty , maximum �1000.
If the object is considered a danger to users of the highway, or ought to be removed immediately, then the authority can remove the object immediately and reclaim expenses.

We live in small cul-d-sac on a fairly new estate and it is in the deeds that we have no right to park sign written vans, large transits, caravan on our drives. This couple have moved in opposite us (private rented sector assommodation - usually 6 months) and park so that we are not able to access our drive. They have the cheek to leave a trailer in a parking space outside their home.
I asked them Thursday night to move their car (which they did) and told them they ought to move trailer.
Got into a full blown row and the bloke of the couple tried to tell me that it was legal to leave trailer where it was.
I told him he ought to check the deeds to the house - which of course he cant cos they rent!
Oh it the season of ell goodwill here I can tell you.
