parking infront of a house but was told not to

[christmas2010]

I have a problem and need clarification. I have parked outside someone's house in order to pick my kids up from school and it's literally 20 mins max. The property owner came out and said that I shouldn't park there as she came back from work and had to park a bit further away from the house, about three houses down. And out of curtsey i should park elsewhere. I said it hasnt' got a drop down curb and i have every right to park there. After her swearing in front of my kids to f*** off, i was furious and said you can call the council to check. Anyway their front wall of their garden has been knocked down and there's a permanent car parked inside and it's not that they had to move that car but for them to park a further two cars in front of their house. That was friday and monday came her husband came out this time and said that he has someone coming and would like me to move when that car comes so they could park in front of their house. I said i wont' until i have picked up my kids which would take max 20 mins. I said i have every right park there as it'a public road and he agreed. but still want me to move as that car needs to park there. it ended with him saying let the council sort it out. I said great and was on my mobile calling the council as i was doubting myself. Anyway they said i was right. But when i got back he made a point of being on the phone and telling whoever is on the other end my licence plate number.

sorry for being long winded, but my question is since his front garden wall has been knocked down, do i still have a right to park there even tho it's not a drop down curb, and would i get clamped etc?

thank you very much in advance for reading and hopefully will get some answers.

Christmas, I don't really see why you are being attacked. So long as you are not blocking their drive whilst they have a vehicle on there, you are not committing any offence. But if you live within walking distance of the school, why not save yourself the stress and reduce your carbon footprint by walking?
