Business laying traffic cones daily
Discussion
Just opposite us, someone periodically reserves the space outside the gate for three large cars, using cones.
They cones are black and white with crosses on, one vehicle has long glass sides and six men carry a long wooden box on their shoulders, while the other vehicle’s occupants just stand around and watch.

In true PH fashion you should report them too.They cones are black and white with crosses on, one vehicle has long glass sides and six men carry a long wooden box on their shoulders, while the other vehicle’s occupants just stand around and watch.
Oh and also despite the fact the building was there before you, you should get the council to come out and measure the noise levels. They are bound to be playing music so they are obviously spoiling your enjoyment.
Businesses should have a method of applying to reserve an on-street parking space or two through their business rates, obviously paying for the privilege to cover the marking and enforcement plus a bit into the local coffers. They can be marked like a disabled space is.
I have no problem with them taking priority of a public parking space during business hours, but others need to be compensated for losing this space. Arbitrarily reserving with cones is rude and obviously unenforcible.

Use this letter as a template and post it to them / tape it to the cones. I once got about 5 houses in a street to stop putting cones out in one go with this letter. You may also have to report them.

Definitely report that, I mean, they could even be concealing dead bodies in those boxes.They cones are black and white with crosses on, one vehicle has long glass sides and six men carry a long wooden box on their shoulders, while the other vehicle’s occupants just stand around and watch.

Or try minding your own business.
I put cones out on a regular basis for deliveries, even local plod have said good idea otherwise
the trucks have to park double to unload or take in deliveries in early hours,
Some people need to get on with their own business and stop poking their noses in.

That's the point, it's not his "business" because it's on a suburban street. Why should a business get to reserve parking when they ought to provide proper parking for their vans.I put cones out on a regular basis for deliveries, even local plod have said good idea otherwise
