This happened to a relative of mine. Apparently he was able to phone
someone (police?) and had the car towed away! It was in a controlled
area though (residents permits had to be shown in the windscreen).

If your neighbour does that again do you have any recourse to have his
car towed?

No, that's generally try *if* someone is blocking you in. If someone is
blocking you *out*, they can't do anything though...

I'm sure it's the other way round. Basically most deeds have a right to
access your property, therefore someone stopping you entering your driveway
can be towed, but there is nothing to stop them blocking you in - except of
course that you could take them to the small claims court for loss of
income when you can't leave for work.
