Instead of touching the cones, which as you say may pee him off, why not write a nice, friendly letter, anonymously and post it through his letter box. Difficult I know to write a nice letter under the circumstances, but it leaset it wont anger him, yeah it may annoy him a bit but there is no justification to get arsey about it.
If there are other neighbours that are also annoyed with this you may want to do just a general letter and post it through everyones door on the street from " the residents association" or something so that it does not look like you are just singling him out.
Get some inebriated students to wear them home as hats - they love such capers I am told. I'm sure 'hardman' doesn't like students much (hardmen don't you know). He will be happy as it will have confirmed everything that he thought about students, and you'll be in the clear.

From Southwark Borough Council Regulations:


Question asked was; Is a trafic cone an obstruction?


Obstructions on roads and pavements


It is an offence to obstruct public roads, footpaths and pavements. Anyone found deliberately causing an obstruction without either authorisation or a good excuse can be prosecuted. We will enforce the law within Southwark and ensure that all public areas are clear of obstructions.


Please contact us to report any obstructions or hazards on public roads, footpaths or other public areas using the details below. Common examples of obstructions include


?builders' skips or materials e.g. piles of bricks, sand, concrete etc

?branches, bushes or hedges that overhang or block

?fly tipped rubbish

?road works safety barriers that have fallen over

?scaffolding or hoardings

?signs or advertising boards that are unauthorised

?shop goods or tables displaying goods on the pavement that are unauthorised

?tables and chairs from pubs, cafes and restaurants

?traders or vendors that are illegal or unauthorised

?vehicles that are parked illegally or have been abandoned

Sometimes obstructions can be caused by street furniture that has been damaged, e.g. bollards, litter bins or metal railings that have fallen over. The council will make sure that street furniture is dealt with quickly to minimise the risk to the public. We can also remove obstructions or make safe any part of the road or footpath that is dangerous, e.g. missing manhole covers etc. Our response times vary depending on the type of obstruction and whether or not it is causing a danger to the public.

I assume you're bringing this up as there's a shortage of parking outside your own gaff.


So stick a load of road cones outside your place to ensure parking when you need it. If some ponce starts giving you agro dish out a load of abuse.



That's your solution right there.



Cheers.

Perhaps hide a selection of amusing but faintly threatening items underneath the cones? If you could by any chance procure a dead mouse/old porcelain doll that might do the trick. Leave one cone empty and then sit back and watch the fun - at least then you will get a giggle.

Yes. he has no legal right to reserve the public highway for his own use over others.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
