Illegally parked cars

The owners and clientele of the primitive butcher and two brothers motorcycle repair shop are, as they have been for the past two years, parking on the double yellow lines outside their place of business. It is a nuisance and incredibly antisocial that everyone else in England has to abide by the laws of the land but some people have been encouraged by the council’s inaction to ignore those laws without a care in the world. Just now as I attempted to turn into Acacia Road the cars parked on the double yellow lines caused a bottleneck whereby two cars couldn’t pass each other. I would have had to reverse onto the main road to let the car in front of me exit Acacia Road. The car trying to exit Acacia Road realised the danger of me having to reverse round a corner onto a busy main road and was forced to reverse the entire length of Acacia Road and reverse round the corner onto a safer secondary road that was not as crowded as the main Lancaster road. Why are we having to do this to appease people who have a complete disregard for their wider community? Who see our road laws and are oblivious to them?Despite letter after letter complaining about this, nothing has been done. Neither business owner has been contacted to inform them that their behaviour is antisocial nor have any sanctions or warnings been imposed upon them. Had it not been me but a fire engine trying to get to a building on Acacia Road, they would have been unable to get to the house on fire. Precious minutes would have been wasted as a family burned to death and all because Enfield council cannot be bothered to enforce parking laws on the area that they are responsible for.
