We will need a removals lorry to move out of the property we are in. We live in a narrow lane which has no parking restrictions.

What's the score with blocking the road for a couple of hours as there is no local parking space for the lorry. I thought if I just let the local neighbours know and anyone else using it will just have to turn around? The lane is used more as a cut through to the High Street and is used mainly by van delivery drivers and is not massively busy.

Anyone else experienced this? I moved in with a van so didn't have the problem then.

Assuming its a no through road with little traffic apart from neighbours, I'd inform them well in advance but be prepared to move lorry if you need to. I'd be somewhat pissed off if I was blocked from going to work !

If you moved in with a van, why can't you move out with a van?

Your removal guys will be used to this situation!
It will be outside of working hours and I will let them know in advance.

I moved locally before so used a van over a couple days whereas this time, I will be moving far far away wink
