Are you really sure you've got enough space there?

It's hard enough finding parking spaces when I get home late of an evening, but made all the more frustrating when people park so inconsiderately. Both the 3-car stretches in the side road have been occupied by 2 cars each positioned for maximum inconvenience that have been like that for days now, and there are several potential spaces out front

That's incredibly rude of people! Is there any sort of parking enforcement you could call to report them?

There's parking restrictions and traffic wardens during the day, but nothing at night when we really need them. I don't care if people want to park outside my house to use the shops when I'm at work - there are usually plenty of spaces then.

I should clarify that the spaces aren't individually marked out, just long (and a few fairly short) stretches to squeeze in as many vehicles as possible, and the only things the wardens seem to care about are that the cars have the right permit for the zone, and that they're parked within the parking area (just being slightly over the lines results in a ticket). Unfortunately, they do tend to start much earlier in the morning than I do, which is why I'm not willing to risk leaving my car parked half out of the space at the end of a row overnight.
