Here’s a list of the enforcement offerings to local authorities from Kingdom

The way some behaviours such as littering are considered a ‘fair target’ for private enforcement services (i.e. where firms make a profit from enforcement) while drivers are said to be unfairly targeted to raise revenue.

Prioritisation of gritting. Here’s an example. The maps are interesting. For roads it’s a network that is gritted. For pavements it seems more piecemeal. www.merton.gov.uk/streets-park...

Of course if you’re lucky enough to have a driveway you may be able to put the skip there and park your car on road at no extra charge

Skip licence for on road skip - £58 for 28 days www.swansea.gov.uk/skips

If a vehicle is blocking your driveway and you are unable to get in and out of your own property, you will need to contact the police.

By contrast:

Civil Enforcement Officers cannot deal with obstructions of the highway or parking on the pavement (unless the vehicle is parked adjacent to yellow lines). You will need to contact the police on the non-emergency number 101 to report these offences.

The Council will, after an initial informal request, serve a 21 Day Notice on you, the occupier, to cut back the offending vegetation. If you do not comply with the Notice, the Council may carry out the work itself and recover its costs in doing so from you, through the courts if necessary.

Pavement blocking - harder on hedges than on cars?

West Berks (chosen at random): It is an offence under the Highways Act 1980 to allow trees, hedges, shrubs and so on to obstruct the highway.

@ianwalker.bsky.social the fact that drivers were awarded compensation for emissions cheating rather than society as a whole has always struck me as rather odd - or at least only a partial answer www.bbc.co.uk/news/busines...
