Does parking on a closed road count as a live parking thread? 😁

[DailyMaui]

So they have closed the road I live on to resurface it. It will be closed for the next two nights. We’ve had multiple letters from the council, there have been signs up for at least a month and yesterday they painted NO PARKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY all over the road.

8 cars are still parked there with 15 minutes to go until resurfacing begins. One of the cars is right outside my house and when I saw them out the window, I tried to explain to the two women (looking like they were off for an evening in town) that they were probably not going to be able to get their car until morning but they told me to fuck off!

The road is lorry central, a guy is taking pictures of the remaining cars… it’s all go here.

Anyone know what they do? Do they just resurface round the cars? Tow them away? Do they get brutal? There’s a fair few annoyed looking men in hi-vis walking up and down! Should I get wine and a comfy viewing position?

In my area they lift them & take them to the pound...

[Hucklead]

I’m so excited for you!! What will they do?

[CorsicaDreaming]

In my old street they towed them! Can't imagine it does the cars suspension any good at all...

I imagine they will start towing about 7am tomorrow morning... bets are on!

[EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn]

You’ll want popcorn.

Wine, comfy position,camera and updates 😌

[newbiename]

Exciting. Keep us updated. Can you get a deckchair in the garden ? . I'd especially like to see what happens if they tow the rude woman's car.

[Hesback]

They’ll tow I reckon.

[PrincessRamone]

Yup, they will lift the cats and impound.

They did it to me many years ago, moved my little old style mini a few streets away, no charge. Don’t recall why I didn’t move it, I’m normally very conformist. I have a hunch the days changed or something but I was a student at the time and could have just forgotten🤣

[TheFlis12345]

Oooh can you set up a live video stream for us?!? This will be good! 😆

[Campervangirl]

DIAGRAM 😂
But settling in for an update 😜

[Mumteedum]

They went round one down our road. Looks stupid now with a big swerve in the tarmac!

[Scautish]

Oh pleeeaasee god of tarmac……tow the cars away.

[Spaghag]

Oh I do hope you're around when the rude woman comes back! The satisfaction of being able to smile sweetly & say "well I did try to warn you but you told me to fuck off".
😂

Watching and waiting ........

[stealthninjamum]

A parking thread. Lovely.

Better put the kettle on.

Op, I know you described it beautifully but could do a diagram? With different colour blobs for the cars? So you could update us when each car gets moved. Thank you. 🙂

[DailyMaui]

They TOW THEM?

OMFG. Promise to film if that happens. I only have warm wine. Will gin and tonic do?

[CatDogMonkeyPOW]

Just going to make myself comfortable here

[Theunamedcat]

Are they resurfacing overnight?

[purplesequins]

you will need a large portion of &

when our street was resurfaced work started in the evening (they did something to the metal gutter thingies).
3 tow trucks rolled up to load up every car parked on the road. it was glorious

[CorsicaDreaming]

I used to live in a narrow one way street with cars parked all way down both sides.

It was the main source of WhatsApp chat....
"They are towing outside number 27!!!"

They always seemed to be closing and clearing bits whenever anyone needed free space to move house for removal vans, etc.

[WhereWasThatFrom]

Well this is my Friday nights entertainment sorted. 😌
Photos and diagrams much appreciated.

[DailyMaui]

Diagram

in between all the cars are now various things like lorries, rollers etc and I just saw a huge tow lorry go past!

blue cars, black cars and the black outline are white cars…

[Drywhitefruitycidergin]

Definitely expecting live updates OP - do we have a starting diagram to show car positions?
