To think it's not ok to park like this

We've recently moved and it appears parking around here is a catastrofuck. Luckily we're not part of the melee as we're one of the few houses with a drive and off street parking. I walk a lot though and I have an almost 2 year old and am 39 weeks pregnant. Very soon I'll be schlepping a double buggy up and down these pavements and almost every dropped kerb is blocked by a car. I'm annoyed that I'll be having to bump my babies onto the road to get past cars. I mean look at this prick, talk about Park-It-Like-You-Stole-it. You'd be able to see fuck all trying to pull out of that junction.

I appreciate there is little parking on this road but I reckon they'd find a legal space if they were prepared to walk for 10 or 15 minutes so it's laziness.

What can I do? I saw some You are Parked Like a Cunt stickers that you can pop on to the drivers window to let them know. If you complain to the council would they send some traffic wardens out? They'd make a killing. I don't want to immediately piss off the new neighbours but do want to address it somehow.

Yeah that's shit parking. Get it round where I am too. Pain in the arse when I'm walking or when I'm driving. The number of times I've had to emerge from a junction and I can't see shit because some idiot has parked where they shouldn't have.

I think local police, except on the rare times they "do a crackdown", mostly just turn a blind eye to it.
