Van/lorry parking

[jogger1976]

Hi all,

Just wanted some clarification re this, as there seem to be a lot of different answers depending where you live/who you ask!

As an example, where I live there are several sign written vans, which the covenant says aren't allowed. It doesn't really bother me or anyone else in the close as we all get on, (it's also handy having an auto electrician, plumber and builder close to hand )but what would happen if some Victor Meldrew type moved in and started kicking off?

On the other side of the road is a development where the vans are all parked in two laybys next to the houses and people apparently get quite militant about vans parking anywhere near the road/on the development.

Then a 5 minute walk past my close is another road where there are various LWB Sprinters/Transits etc and an Iveco recovery truck, which is always parked at the end of the road without any issue.

Is any of this even enforceable?

Thanks for the info guys. As I say, I'm not bothered by any of it, just interested really. I found out from a mate that the firm that own the truck do all the recovery work for the local plod when cars are seized, and also for the local authority when abandoned vehicles are reported. I guess the driver needs to park a reasonable distance to respond to call outs?
