Neighbours claiming a public parking spot

I know you guys may have seen similar posts but I need some help/advice from anyone who may have already experienced the same issue.

I have an annoying neighbour who is claiming the public parking spot in front of our house.

There’s 10 houses in this street but only have 2 public parking spots available (which is sad).
And also this street has yellow lines in both sides of the road and only these two parking bays available to public (which makes things worse).

One of this is claimed by someone and have parked their car over a month, and then there is this other guy keep claiming the spot by swapping through his cars.

He parks one car here and when he is driving it, he asks his wife to park the other car behind him, so literary there is no way that someone else can park there. This intend to be a visitor car park but now it has become their own.

I have already talked to them but there is nothing positive, and they claim it’s public parking (obviously) which they made private.

I have already called AT which is no use and they claim that as long as the car has a valid wof and registration they can park as long as they want.
I am not sure if there is any bylaws which stops people from doing this.

I am not trying to be a Karen here or neither trying to control a public parking spot. But this is not fair for all other residents who is living in the same street.
So though to get some advice from the nice people out there.

Thanks guys!
