Unversity of Worst London (UWL) Move house?

It looks like we will be moving house. We have had enough. Gangs of University of Worst London (UWL) students driving dangerously and parking down our private road and blocking the road. Lying when they are asked to move saying they have permission and then saying they are visiting someone living there, then when asked who? Saying it is near the road. Then getting violent and trying to run residents and friends over and much worse. What is wrong with UWL that it has students like this? We are now looking to move as we have had enough of this vermin!

Thank you Phil. Don't worry no capitals in any formal correspondance. We are awaiting to see what happens as we had several police and a couple of cars and they took a statement and it is being referred to road traffic though I doubt that they will do anything. I am venting a little here (the police seemed to find it odd that I was angry when they arrived having been pushed along the road forcibly by the driver of the tresspassing car).What was also odd was that although the driver had been driving along the pavement when we saw him first he was allowed to drive off with his friends and in spite of requests for it he was neither breathyled nore tested for drugs. I have never seen anyone driving along the pavement at speed before, and I have never seen anyone deliberately overtake and drive into the path of another car and then claim that he had been hit! I am amazed that half-a-dozen police let him drive!What is the matter with police in Ealing? You give them video evidence and they do nothing as I have found having submitted several videos of street fights, violence, etc., after which nothing happened.

Beat police are like builders and car mechanics - they will say (almost) anything if it makes a problem go away and pacifies people.Personally, I wouldn't involve the police BUT, if you do, the normal rules apply: take their ID numbers and confirm in writing (typically email) what you asked and what advice was given.  Might be appropriate within those emails to avoid using capitals for emphasis as the meaning is somewhat unclear.

That's want the senior policeman said. He was very ARROGANT. He said that it was what he said that mattered, not what I thought. For example, the perpetrators were making faces at us and teasing us. I asked him to stop them as this was winding me up and he said that he saw no winding up. He even started to threaten me saying that he had alredy had to speak to me. He and two other policeman were having a laugh about somethign that they found funny when I asked him. Our Ealing police are USELESS and VERY VERY arrogant.

Forgive me if this thread is merely a way of blowing off steam.You say to Block the car in counts as "false imprisonment".  It strikes me that you have been given poor advice here.  If you were to block all of the doors to a car and prevent someone getting out of it, that would probably count as false imprisonment.  If you live in a non-adopted road and have clear signs asking non-residents not to park, then, at worst, you might be breaking civil law by parking in such a way as to prevent another car from moving.I doubt whether UWL students lie any more than any others.There is no way of stopping this quickly unless you employ a clamping firm, which brings with it its own, very real, drawbacks.Blocking the car in and, very carefully ensuring the student knows how to call you to "release" their car is probably your best bet.

Local police very unhelpful. Block the car in counts as "false imprisonment", and running into someone just gets knocked upstairs as a road traffic offence (rtc). The University of WORST London has a car park but that costs money which these new-car owning (IMPOVERISHED?) students clearly are too poor to pay. Reporting to the University advised by police as opening you up to civil action. Local police very little use. University of WORST London students lying vermin.

I would be bloody annoyed & inclined to take law into my own hands. In NO way am I defending the culprits, but where do they park???Ealing along with every other borough simply has no free parking. While CPZ is understandable near "busy" areas (( i.e where commuters park their cars all day to travel), there just is nowhere to park.If yours is a private road surely the police can act although I dont hold much hope as they only deal with non confrontational matters, citing civil disagreement.Make yourself a nuisance at TVU & if that doesnt work block cars in
