At the end of the day its just not fair that at your own home, your place of sanctuary you have to be wound up by lousy neighbours. Home should be where you come back to relaxation from the stresses of life.

personally i would not waste one more moment of my life on dickheads like that, i would just move house, its a massive upheavel yes , but long term its the best option imo.
if that is not an option to you, have you thought about contacting your local councillor?

Yes that's an idea, - wouldn't do any harm to give them a ring.
I don't agree with your neighbours, but it's no good being wound up, so maybe try & look at it like this:
Legally, they're not doing nothing wrong. Anyone can come along and park outside your house. It's NOT your property, - and you brought the house knowing full well there was no allocated parking space.
Either put-up/forget the situation and park wherever you can, - or plan in the future to turn some/most of your front garden into a nice driveway (I'm sure you can include a little garden area somewhere or other).
If you plan on revenge or tit-for-tat antics, always remember that after you've taken action, you'll have to sit in your own home and wait for their revenge. Your home shouldn't be a battle ground, - and you'll never be able to relax, - neighouring disputes can spiral out of control over the most stupid of things.

Tit for tatt isn't the answer it just escilates and gets worse and worse.
Haven't read all the replies, but have you tried having a sincere chat with them? Really lay it on thick that their disrupting your life and upsetting your family.
Invite them round for a meal/ bbq, try and be as nice as pie to them, call a truce.
Be the bigger man, as much as it might grate you, it will save you ALOT of hassle and undue stress.

knoxville that means that they will be in the house more often (if they get a tag) wont it?
surely johnovmanc wants the opposite 
dont go down the gettign someone to kick them in route, in my time i have been through front doors on behalf of people who have been fortunate
at the end of the day you never know who knows people

can you not go round there and say:
'with all due respect mate, your parking in front of my house when you have a parking space free in front of yours. what are you playing at?'

I'd move house and once comfortable in my new abode I would then begin to make their lives difficult (most of onion's suggestions would suffice) with the comfort that they have no idea of my whereabouts and my family are safe, or I may decide to do nothing, depends on how much they had annoyed me over the years.

so everytime you have an arguement with your neighbours you spend thousands of pounds buying your way out of a mortgage and setting a new one up

it's really tricky, there's no easy way it seems as bad neighbours is like a growing disease in this country
maybe going to your local councillor and the opposition leaders of the political parties in your area might get you somewhere as the opposition leaders often give the councillor stick on your behalf

if they have a double driveway too then they should be able to park in theirs??
if they are parking over your lowered kerb you can have the vehicle moved for obstruction = £130 towing fee plus £12 a day storage plus obstruction fee £30
if they are not over the lowered kerb your struggling mate sorry
No mate, they have the double drive we just have the garden... we will change it to a drive but not ATM
Thats the thing, they could easily use there drive OR just park in front of there OWN house.
They are being awkward, so I want to stop them... just can not think of anything to do to stop them apart from running them over and doing static on there heads.
Park on there drive....thats what I'd so cause I'm a pitefull twunt

You are right of course. Especially since the credit freeze means moving could take months.

my apologies I didn't realise it was a great rush to exact revenge on them
it would only take months to move house if you your house is over priced and wyswig if you are paying thousands to re arrange a new mortagage i suggest you look into finding a new advisor
