Tips on saving some parking space for a removal lorry
Discussion
7.5 tonner (with 14 foot ramp) coming on Monday, 0830 to move us out.
Problem - commuters who don't want to pay parking at the station park here.
They come from 0700 onwards and by 0800 the road is full.
It's a row of semi's, two spaces in front of each pair of houses, then drives, then two spaces etc.
We have one car now which can save 50% of a pair of spaces, possibly occupy two if I park in the middle like a t
t.
Neighbours will be working and so not really of much help in the effort, so how can I save a pair or two for the van?
Would the police help by lending me some cones?
Any experiences from the PH massive?
Cheers,
Joe

We get this when delivering kitchens.
Wheelie Bins, chairs, stolen traffic cones, spare children - anything that comes to hand that will reserve a suitable space. Strung together with any kind of tape you can find. "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" works well, but simple brown packaging tape would probably do.

Thanks for the replies chaps.
Plan so far:
4 wheelie bins spread across the two spaces.
Barrier tape (500m worth reserved from Screwfix just now, so should be enough to properly deter even the most determined Essex commuter) liberally spread between the four bins.
4 A4 bits of paper with "moving house today" on them, one on each bin.
The only things I don't have is metal drinks trays and trolley jacks in case any RRS/Audi commuters come along :-)

hole commuter will think 'why do I give a fk?' and move the bins and park in the 5mins you are in the bog reading The Sun and curling one out. I suppose you could write 'IED testing, Essex Taliban' or 'Toxic bins full of spunk rags' which might work. My vote would go to a couple of tethered honey badgers, with some honey excruciatingly out of reach to enrage them further.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
