Large boat on a trailer, legally parked ?
Discussion
One of my neighbours has parked a very large boat on a trailer on the road. It is not attached to a car or van etc just left there on its own. Its pretty big and I cant begin to imagine its legal. I have had a look on some internet sites but cant find an answer. Does anyone have any idea ?

It appears to be net curtain Stasi week here in NPL. Can't you people watch some footy, or go for a drive, or something? Shall we have a whip round and buy you all hats?
Nooooooo. Other people are doing things that PHers don't approve of. That promotes outrage and those non PHers indulging in this behaviour should stop immediately, ideally with the involvement of the police. This is obviously completely the opposite of the curtain twitching, nanny state meddling demands made on mumsnet, which are just plain daft.
Sorry everyone, I was aiming my comment at the suggestion that it was "perfectly legal"........and before anyone gives me a kicking I also realise that it isn't "perfectly illegal".
And no I can't watch footy as there's a f**king great big boat parked down the road that's blocking my TV signal.

Where does the op live? Hull? Maybe the OPs neighbour deserves decking? Definitely sailing close to the wind. Give them a wave. Maybe the trailer is just to tide them over until they're on an even keel? There needs to be a sea change in parking laws. Do you harbour any ambitions of a solution? You ought to avoid making anenomes is all I would say.
Is it parked in a restricted road (i.e. subject to a 30mph speed limit or below)?
If so it must be lit during the hours of darkness - see this thread.

If it's a hazard the police may be interested in doing something about it.

60 miles from the coast. The guy has two boats which he leaves on trailers in the street. This large one has been there for a couple of months opposite a school. The two outboard engines are mostly uncovered exposing the props which is a tad dangerous for the young kids walking in between it and the van parked behind it.Red Devil said:
