If you have a proper access, i.e. a dropped kerb, then you can complain
to the plod if you are blocked in, and they will threaten the culprit
with obstruction.
However, if they block you from entering your property, then it's a
civil matter, plod is not interested.
Andrew, do you think it somehow makes you look "clever" to selectively
quote from somebody else's post, totally ignore the context and thus
deliberately misrepresent what they posted ?
I placed "drive" in inverted context on purpose, as I was responding to
Swords proposal to create a "drive" in his front garden using gravel.
Had you bothered to read further you would have seen that my post covered
all the points you raised, but in rather more detail and rather more
accurately.

And in any case in many places driving across pavements isn't permitted
To prevent this you then need to fork out a few k, to the local council,
assuming this is still permitted, for a dropped kerb. The council will
then modify the pavement and paint a yellow line [or lines] in the road
to prevent parking.
a yellow line does not "Prevent" parking. It "prohibits" it which is a
quite different matter.
Well yes.
That eventuality was covered in the final two lines of the passage
of text I quoted from my original post, which for some unaccountable
reason you've chosen to snip

" Whether they actually enforce it, or you still get blocked
in or out, is another matter."
So that the initial assumption is that parking will be prevented as
a result of the prohibition being enforced.
This is later qualified in my final sentence which you chose to snip
which covers the possibility of the prohibition not being enforced
in which case parking hasn't, as you say, been prevented.
It appears that this selective quotation business is catching.
