Lately there is this guy who lives about 10-15 houses further up our road. He recently got a Dewalt sprinter van and tends to enjoy parking right out side our houses (We own 2 houses next to each other 1 all derelict and the other we live in).
Our house is also on a slip road and the road is very narrow making it extremly difficult to get into the drive without some fancy manovers.
This guy who lives no where near this end of the road just keeps parking his damn van here and tends to block up everything. On some occsions he parks on the corner of the slip road making it difficult for people to turn in.
Ive asked nicely but he just doesnt listen and leaves it parked for days before having to go somewhere.
What else can i do to get him to stop. We've got lots of cars of our own and have to park 2 roads away beacause of that thing parking right outside.
I dont want to cause a fight or anything i just want him to stop it. And its not even a one off its all time.

He has tax on the van, it is a public road. Sorry to tell you this but when you buy a house you do not buy the road outside too. Maybe he has similar issues preventing him from parking.
I have to park my van by someone else's house because there is no road to my house, just a walkway. It has to go somewhere.

This is a tough one. We had a similar problem with a van driver parking in our road (he actually lived round the corner, but didn't like having the van outside his house, oh no).
Fundamentally, there is nothing stopping someone parking on the public highway. What the cannot do is to park illegally, or cause an obstruction. This means blocking access to a property, parking within 10 metres of a junction, or parking a a bend.
As you say, you've already been round to ask him to move the vehicle. The next stage is to contact your local police station and tell them that you have a vehicle that is parked dangerously. Keep ringing them - each time you ring will be an incident they will be keen to "clean up". Take photographs whenever the van is parked badly.
We managed to get the van outside our house ticketed several times using this method. Unfortunately, the owner just moved it further down the road, and there was nothing legally we could do about it.
We also got together with some of the other people living near us and went round to see the owner, and eventually he moved it onto his own drive (and then moved house a few months later - yay!). We made it quite clear that he was not popular in the area.
I hope you get on okay

To me, it's not worth hassling about. Try not to sweat the small stuff. This is very small stuff, imho. Is it aggravating? Yes. Are they out of line? Yes. Do you want to keep the peace with them? That's a question only you can answer, right? That's the main question. I'd let them have their shady parking spot. I've lived in a situation where neighbors didn't get along many years ago. It was horrible! I dreaded even coming home and wound up moving. Get some sunshades for your car windows, or a car cover. That will help keep your car cool for your own kids. Sure it's a hassle for you, but not half as much as having feud with them would be. Let them have their shade tree. I'd even buy them a shade for the back window for when the new baby comes. Kill 'em with kindness and keep the peace, is my advice. The hassle you have now, is nothing compared to the hassle you'll have if you really tick them off, IMHO. Obviously it's a really big deal to them or they wouldn't have mentioned it to you. Good luck in whatever you decide. It isn't their street - it's public property. Just think hard before you park there and decide if it's worth the possible feud. Good luck!

If the road is that narrow noone should be parking in the street, period.
I would suggest checking your local laws, especially if you live on a public street. Most cities have a limitation on the length of time a vehicle can be parked in the street without moving it. Where I live that limit is 48 hours. Once the 48 hours are up the police put on an abandoned vehicle sticker, then it is towed to the impound lot where the owner has 30 days to claim/retrieve the vehicle. If you live on a public road your neighbor is in violation of that law by leaving that van parked on the street for days at a time unmoved. In this case I would definitely make a call to the police informing them of the abandoned vehicle parked in street preventing safe entrying into/out of your property. Hopefully this little bit of fun will put a stop to your neighbor parking in the street.
If the above doesn't apply...
I would phone the police and tell them...
1) You live on a very narrow street
2) This neighbor keeps parking the van in the street in such a manner that it prevents you and others from safely entering/exiting the street and/or property.
3) Emergency vehicles will not be able to pass because of this van.

Fundamentally there is not much you can do, it is a public road and if parking is allowed then it is on a first come basis. You state however that his inconsiderate parking inhibits other peoples use of a public slip road. In that instance then you would have recourse to report it to the police as a safety hazard. If however it is not causing an obstruction, blocking your actual driveway or making access difficult for emergency vehicles then you will just have to live with it.

If it is causing an obstruction, preventing (or making difficult) access to a legal driveway, then he is breaking the rules of the road, and you can report it to the local police. You can also contact the company he works for - their name is on the van, and a badly parked van causing an obstruction is not a good advert for their company.
If it is not causing an obstruction, there is nothing you can do about it.

If its a work van, report it to the company... if its his own, phone the police. If it's causing a problem they will sort it. Would there be enough room if a fire engine had to get past etc? You can also phone the fire brigade to come and have a look and see what they think.
Why doesn't he park outside his own house? Is it that its the only place he can park when he gets home or is he just being an ar$e?

If it is a public road and he is not parking on double yellow lines, he is quite entitled to park in front of your house. Yes, it may be annoying, but if it's a public road there is nothing you can do.
