Blocked driveway due to customers of neighbours who run business from home
My neighbours opposite my house have set up a business run from their house and their customers regularly park across my driveway. The neighbours are extremely unfriendly to all the householders on my side of the road (reason unknown to any of us) so are not easy to approach and have said before 'you don't own the road'.
I would be interested to know what options are open to me to stop this happening. If I called the police the people parking would have gone by the time the police turned up and it seems a bit 'over the top' at the moment. Should they have a proper licence to run a business from home? In which case would it be advisable to speak to the local council?
Any advice would be welcome. Thanks

I will certainly find out if they have planning consent etc.
Unfortunately nothing will be gained by me parking across my own driveway and I wouldnt like to ask anyone to park across their drive ..... who knows what the consequences of that would be!

Yes I do have a dropped kerb and it doesn't deter them at all. One car was completely over the end of my drive and when I asked the young lad if he could move it he said "why? is it blocking your drive then"!!
Local police don't seem at all interested.
I have written to the council this morning so will see what they say.
