Parking close to a junction, on pavement and blocking access to drivesway

Sent to Northumberland County Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 818955.
Owners of the first property on the right of Kielder Avenue park on the narrow street rather than on their own driveway. They have 3 cars and a large trailer. They park 2 of the cars half on the pavement and half on the narrow road. One red car is too close to the junction causing traffic to leave on the wrong side of the road. There have been many near collisions as a result. A second blue car blocks access to the driveway of 5 Kielder Avenue most days in the evening. I have spoken to them and am met with refusal, threatening behaviour and personal abuse. This matter has gone on since they moved into Kielder Avenue and bought the small shop at the top of Kielder avenue. Their parking contravenes the highway code which says do not park on pavements, too close to junctions or block access to driveways. They are treating Kielder Avenue as if it was their personal car park. Kielder Avenue is a narrow block paved street with passing places to allow cars to pass each other. I have tried repeatedly to ask them to be more considerate and they refuse to alter their position. On one occasion the youth approached me with his fist clenched and verbally abused me and this evening 3rd May he refused to move them and said that no one liked me and implied he was doing it deliberately.
