Bus parked on residential cul-de-sac
Discussion
I came home after a weekend away to find a bus parked on my road, half on the pavement half off. It's a cul-de-sac and not very wide, certainly not the sort of place I'd park a bus.
The vehicle in question is sign written up as a "party bus" so is obviously being used for hire/reward. The owner of the bus also has other vehicles he occasionally brings home such as a large pink stretched limo.
What can I do about this? My neighbours all seem to be pretty hacked off about it, so it's not just me.
When I purchased my house there was a caveat in the deeds that would allow me to park a sign written van on my drive or in the street, I was also not to run a business from the property. It would seem like this person is doing both? However the property they live in I believe is rented and recently converted from a community hall so perhaps the same laws don't apply?

Who would I report a breach of the covenant too? The property the bus belongs to doesn't have a drive, so no chance of them parking it on one.
A sign written van is OK down the side/out the back of the property, just not in front.
I'm looking to sell soon and I don't really want the place looking like a chav rental company with limos and party buses littering the street, I don't think that makes me a snob? The way it's parked must make it hard to get a fire engine past too.

List of Traffic commissioners and contacts is your starting point. If running a business using commercial or passenger vehiles you do NOT want to ps off these people.

Bloody hell - what sort of place is this? Snob terrace?task said:
there's a caveat that doesn't allow a caravan out the front of the house too, but they're all fine up the side or behind the house.
I get the thing about not having large objects about - it's the specific reference to signwriting that seems daft and snobby - surely a big go-away van is as much of an obstruction whether or not it has anything written on the side?FiF said:

I used to take coaches home occasionally when I drove them, because it saved time the next morning with a pickup around the corner or similar. I made sure I parked them out of the way though, there was a nice empty street with loads of space to park 1/4 mile away (except on days when the footy team were home).
