I am feeling a bit stressed. Due to move in a month. I live on a busy street with double yellows outside my front door all the way up that side of the road. Everyone parks on the other side. It is pretty busy all the time. The removals firm have asked me to “speak to the neighbours across road and ask them nicely not to park there for a few hours” on moving day. Thing is, it’s not just neighbours that park there - there’s a gp surgery, a school and various businesses on the road so all sorts of people are coming and going all the time. I don’t feel confident about my ability to keep clear a big space for a removals van.
Has anyone had any experience of how removals have been tackled in places where the access is difficult? Do I buy cones and put them out, and risk the wrath of locals? Can you get permits for these sort of things? Not much experience of moving house so not sure what to do. And people are so touchy about parking around here.
