I am slightly annoyed about a van parked outside my house. We have unrestricted parking (London terraced street).

So I know the law, and I know I have no rights to the space outside my house. I honestly do and you don't need to remind me Grin. Our road can get busy but I can usually park within a 1 or 2 minute walk of my front door. So no real biggie.

But in my place would you be irritated that a largish van (think transit size) has been parked directly outside my house for 14 days now and not been moved once?

Please be honest. If it wouldn't bother you, would it really not, really and truly?

And wwyd? I am fairly sure I know who it belongs to. If I'm right, owner lives 15-20 houses away. They have a driveway which one of their cars occupies. They also have quite a large commercial vehicle, also parked on the road and also hasn't moved for a couple of weeks.

Is the van still there, OP?

It's only been a couple of years.

It would annoy me too. There's been a massive 4x4 parked outside my house for 2 weeks, on the pavement. Really gets my goat.

Yep totally annoying! Especially if they have a drive which they choose to put a smaller vehicle on!

It would annoy me, but there’s no point being annoyed as nobody has done anything wrong here.

@samwi why resurrect an old thread to post that? After two years, if it still hadn't moved, it's likely the op would have returned Hmm

This happened to me a few months ago, a van was parked outside the house for about a month! It also annoyed my neighbour as it obstructed his view when getting off his drive.

In the end, I checked online to see if it had tax/MOT as it never moved. It didn't, so I reported it and it got promptly removed.

Say you e got some big delivery coming in a few days so could they move?

All those saying it would annoy you - why is that - is it the light being blocked? If so, presumably someone leaving a Bentley Bentayga pasked outside would be similarly unwelcome?
