Or buy a very cheap car and leave it in the road outside your house.
And how will that help? You will still have a car outside your house.?
I clearly mean it’s your house and your own car not joe Bloggs commuter.
What’s the confusion?
i find it baffling that people take a job but don't fully consider how they will travel to work.
It's entirely possible that the OP turns up to 'his parking space' and finds the roads already full of commuters. What will he do then, drive around looking for a space that may or may not be available.
What if there are no spaces, either way he could be late for work. The fact his station car is a Peugeot fair to assume he isn't a typical (powerfully built etc) Pher, around here I know of a few Jag F Types that are station cars, So being late or not turning up will probably be a problem for him.
All due to lack of foresight/planning.

When I moved here from rural Wales I had zero perception of what congestion was like. My expectation of train frequency (and bus) was 30mins was really good - now 6 mins is the norm. Take the tube 1-2mins is the norm so outside normal running it’s annoying. Maybe those people living near he train station choose to live there so they could walk to the train station and go to work. Or maybe that’s all they could afford who knows

Obvious benefit is, if it is in the way you can move it. If some retard parks it there and wanders off to catch a train you can't.
So you buy a car just so that you can move it if its in the way? Russ T Bolt said:

Putting aside the slight issue of where you then put this car that’s sole purpose is to block off a section of public road, can we start with why someone has a right to stop commuters from parking on a public road where they have every right to be?i find it baffling that people take a job but don't fully consider how they will travel to work.

They don’t - no one has stated otherwise. As to where you put it - I’d suggest you put a bin on the road blocking another space ready to move the throw away car into as and when you need.

Interesting question actually, are residents permits likely in an area where everyone has a drive? Doesn't really make sense, as they would then have to pay to occasionally park outside their own house?
The houses on the street I live on have drives, and we are about to get residents only parking...because of d
head commuters parking on the street and causing chaos. Many of the on street spaces can fit 2 cars, but when 2 cars are parked there, visibility for residents pulling out of their drives is appalling, and it also makes it a nightmare for the bin lorry/dial-a-ride bus etc to get through.

Sorry but just what are you going on about? Why on earth would you put your bin on the public highway?
Read the OPs starting post. He commutes
Doesn’t park in station carpark it’s £7/day but full anyway.
He parks in resident street without parking restrictions
Residents are blocking spaces with putting wheelie bins in the road.
Thats what this whole thread is about - keep up there at the back 😉

Thank you. I appreciate this but what’s the parking on the street got to do with the residents? It’s not a private road I take it? And it has no parking restrictions? So it is for everyone to use as they require. In an ideal world people would do so while being considerate of the people who have chosen to live on that road but the road is there for anyone to park on. Why do these bin people think they can just block the road?
Well OP is taking it on and will be moving them (appears to be all) in his suit so hopefully he has some hand cleaner after that exercise. Thing is IF he dumps them on the footpath he is causing a blockage “trip hazzard” or very least an obstruction.
If he dumps it on the owners property how does he know which bin is for which property plus trespassing plus owner might not know the bin is here and reverse right into it damaging the car.
Popcorn is at the ready
The OP claims its not about the money. There are stations at Welwyn Garden City and Ware. Both within a few minutes drive (depending on which side of Hertford he lives on) Both of those stations have ample parking regardless of what time you get there. The solution seems pretty simple.
If the OP wanted to he could park outside another house on the same street, he seems to have a problem with this one house.
The Home onwner seems to be one of those petty types that will leave cones or bins to reserve a space.
The OP seems to be one of those belligerent types who "knows his rights".
In isolation both exist in relative peace, but when circumstances put them together there was always going to be a disagreement.
The OP will end up moving the home owners bins. The home owner will then escalate things (probably blocking in the OPs car). This will carry on for a bit until eventually someone will go too far and property will be damaged.
In all probability we will all be able to see the results in a few months on a channel 5 documentary.

Exactly. He’s just tight. If the OP wanted to he could park outside another house on the same street, he seems to have a problem with this one house.

The thing is a sympathise with both sides. 1 side want a quiet life and not have their street blocked by random cars, and the other just wants to get to work.
Appears via another poster there is ample paid parking st the station, in which case OP is trying to avoid the relevant commuting costs which should apply. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
