To have reported this van?

There’s work being done at the end of our street (not neighbours for relevance but previously an empty plot of land). So we’ve put up with very early noise, even on weekends, endless parked vans (it’s a tiny road with not many driveways), large skips on the road - you get on with it because meh nothing you can do.

Today they decided to park across my driveway, I let it slide as I assumed they hadn’t parked there for long. But I was wrong and it was still there 3 hours later. I reported it to the council who sent someone over and got them to move it.

I did this as from experience people do it continuously even being asked nicely not to. What I am fuming about is they told the person from the council that I had said it was absolutely fine for them to do this - I’ve never spoken to any of them! - and you know what if they had come and asked me I would have tried to accommodate.

What a set of liars and thick ones at that. Why do they think its ok to do this?

Don’t ever try to accommodate people parking across your drive for hours. That way madness lies.

I'm just here to say, I can't believe you got someone from the council to come out!

I’m assuming that last comment was insinuating that “.the council actually turned up” LOL

Really good here (rubbish at other things though) - maybe it’s because it means giving people a fine? Not that this happened here.
