I use pavements too!
It's not a massive issue to make an abrupt change that can actually be made to have more dire consequences than it actually solves.
People forced to park directly on the road means less space for two lanes of traffic so, congestion builds and people die in ambulances because they cannot get to the hospitals swiftly.

Then this where the current law should apply, they are causing an obstruction and should be dealt with accordingly, I don't think Paul and I am not either, advocating a "sod all else" and ownership of the pavements, there are many UK roads that are just not wide enough to allow adequate free flow of traffic, if people are forced to fully park on the roads it will cause massive issues.
