How long can it take to paint a yellow No-Parking line?

Vado (Entrance) number 911, Jimena
JIMENA How long is a piece of string, one might ask. This reader applied for a yellow line to be painted at the entrance to his garage on Calle Romo in 2008. He has been paying for the plaque (which is supposedly a no-parking warning, too) since well before that, but cars still park outside, blocking the garage door. It wouldn't be much of a problem if he didn't work different shifts, many on nights, when there is no Local Police available to have an illegally parked car removed. The last time he requested the line was about a month ago. At last notice, a police report was necessary to have the line painted, but had not been done in the month from the last request, despite the fact that police cars pass that spot dozens of times every day. Just a couple of meters up the street, another garage, and lots of other garages on the same street, have yellow lines in front of them (Proof below). Why not our reader's? (One suggestion: buy yellow paint and DIY, if poverty is Council's excuse!)

2 metres up the road
10 metres up the road
50 metres down the road (garage space unused)
200 metres down the road
