Problem Parkers

What difference does it make if he parks there or your neighbour or someone who lives 10 miles away?
What has respect got to do with anything?
Leaving a note on a perfectly legally parked car is pretty disrespectful tbh.

Put a cone there, it's what we do and works wonders.
I knew i would be opening a can of worms for myself 
I also see both sides to this as well, if the shoe was on the other foot so to speak all im saying is i wouldn''t park outside someones house on a public street but hey ho

So where would you park when you don't have another option? Would you abandon your car in the middle of the road?
Maybe hes diddling your wife when you are at work and likes a short walk to his car afterwards?

Sorry OP but there is very little you can do as it's a public highway. The most you can do is call the council and say cars are parked on footpaths up and down your cul-de-sac, they will assess the situation and may consider yellow lines or resident only parking at a FEE.
There is a downside, no-one will be able to park on the road even your neighbours without coughing up.
You need to accept the situation you're in - built up area, terraced housing, close proximation to fellow humans.

Dig a 40ft deep hole where he parks half fill it with acid and construct a road surface look alike with papermash, video him driving in it and post on here.
I could be wrong, but I think parking half on the pavement is illegal as it's causing an obstruction for pedestrians as you have found out.
Good lord ocuk is ***** this morning 
I can see where the OP is coming from that, if the guys lives away from his house why should he park right infront. In places with limited parking its generally common decency to park near your own home so other can park infront of their own. Even when there is a bit of parking it's irritating if people park one of their multiple cars outside your own front door when there is space elsewhere.
Ultimately there is nothing you can do OP but maybe chat with the guy in a friendly manner and say your peice. There's nothing you can enforce but hopefully he will understand your point of view and be accommodating.

Thanks mate, to be honest i am my own worst enemy and i have worded things quite bad. It's just nice to be able to park outside your own home when you have a 2 month year old child. With very little parking spaces but plenty of decent road spaces i just find it strange why someone would park where he does when there are actually better places closer to his flat
I like to let my neigbour park outside their house as well (cant get 2 cars outside) so i park my car opposite against a wall just trying to be helpful to them
Just found out that our road is actually infact still owned by the developers and is still currently in the transition phase of being passed over to the site management company who will be maintaing the area

You have allocated parking, so going on about the kid is a bit odd really.
I'm going to hazard a guess that your wife uses your allocated parking and her car is the primary one used when it comes to the child day to day. You, on the other hand, go out to work each day and are annoyed that you cannot park directly in front of your house when you get home.
Seriously, you have legs for a reason, park up the road and be happy that your 1 allocated space is there and your misses n kid uses it fine.
I do indeed have legs and use them regualy to run 10 miles every other day 
so walking is no issue at all. So your telling me if you came home from work and you had the choice to park either outside someone's house or on the side of the road closer to your flat you would park outside someone else's house?
Again this thread has kinda gone the wrong way, this person in question i know is not in the wrong but to me and maybe yea it is me a bit of common courtesy comes into play

Vaseline on the door handles.
Common courtesy to park on something that is not your property? You are actually suggesting he needs to ask your permission to park on a road or justify his reasons for doing so?
Honestly...get over yourself!

I'd park where ever I felt was best. The thing you have to remember is that you only see the state of play when you get home, you don't see it when the other person parks there. Maybe at that point in time in front of your house is the best place to park for him.
You could just start getting your misses to park in front of the house, leaving the allocated parking space for you.
I do have a very similar issue, I keep parking on a road near my house and some so and so keeps putting notes on my car. I'm pretty sure its not private land so surely I can park where I want!
