  There is no national prohibition against either on-street or pavement parking except in the
  latter case in London and more widely in relation to heavy commercial vehicles.
  
  However, it is an offence to drive onto the pavement, whether with intention to park or
  not. Because this is a criminal offence, as opposed to the vast majority of civil parking
  offences, it is enforceable by the police, not the local authority.
  
  Which is why Charlie is trying to get this and the various forms of 'obstruction' devolved for action by 'traffic wardens'(or whatever they are called nowadays) rather than Plod who is busy solving one in ten burglaries.
