Allocated Parking Space
I own a house on an estate and purchased it with allocated parking space. What are my rights as the owner of the parking space as far as preventing others from parking there? Unfortunately it is not just one person parking there, it gets parked on by various vehicles. I put a bollard there twice now and it helped but it got damaged yet again.
Can I do anything once they parked there? EG. can I block them somehow or clamp them myself? The parking space has a clear sign saying it is private parking allocated to my property. If anyone has any suggestions on prevention or "punishment" then, please share!
Thank you.

Had a similar issue years back, it was underground parking for a city centre apartment but, we were told, people who had moved apparently still had fobs to get in to park so would use it for free city centre parking at times, it was different vehicles, or they'd park in someone else's space which meant that space owner would park in someone else's etc... We ended up getting one of those tall bollards which you can unlock to fold it down get in to the space and had no issues after that.
The folding ones keep getting damaged by people reversing into them and then ultimately forcing them down. I found a company that offers installation (including scanning the ground for pipes and cables first) so that a solid post can be sunk in the ground. Will likely go with them. Many thanks all!!
