We love in quite a narrow road with parking boxes, white lines drawn on to park with 2 wheels on curb. Parking has always been an issue but we manage to normally park at least in our road.
Over the past few weeks a commercial truck, open back has been parking directly outside our house and neighbours house taking up 2 white box spaces and as you have to park 2 wheels on pavement makes it a tight squeeze to get in and out of gate, ok for us but next door has a pushchair.
The neighbour who owns the van has a double drive with a double dropped curb where usually there are 2 other cars parked on the drive.
AIBU to think the driver could be more considerate and park across his drive or in another street? Our road is the cross in a H shape and on one of the other streets there are no houses and lots of spaces, he could easily park there and be in his house in less than 30 seconds.
DH wants to talk to him and ask him not to park there but I think that if you are that inconsiderate you're not going to open to a chat. I was going to contact his employer - the name and details are all over the side of the van and ask them to have a word with him.
It is a public road so therefore anyone can park there I know this but it's just causing an obstruction and taking up 2 spaces!
Would I be unreasonable to email his company??
Aaarghhh I hate parking issues!!
