Old Geoff Capes knew how to deal with pavement parkers.

Via the Op Snap / Operation Snap reporting system - although Suffolk's appears to be a bit unusual - https://www.suffolk.police.uk/ro/report/rti/rti-beta-2.1/report-a-road-traffic-incident/ - I've been reporting quite a lot who do this in West Yorkshire and most get followed up.

If they're yellow markings, don't bother. Without a local TRO of some kind they're typically unenforceable so are usually treated as advisory only, or more likely ignore completely.

If they're white you can also phone it in on 101. If you have a picture they will advise you on how to send it in.

I had to laugh this morning as I drove back through Evenwood Gate, (a place blighted by pavement parkers, despite being on a main A road), as a chap dodged out of the way to avoid being tw#tted on the *rse by a passing cars door mirror ~ as he was trying to get into his car, which was parked fully blocking the entire pavement at the narrow part right opposite a traffic island 🤡.
