What a bloody eyesore.

That would also piss me off.

You will probably find it belongs to someone round the corner on a different road, and he is parking it there because he doesn't want it parked outside his own house.

Burn it.

This. I am generally of the opinion that people who get precious about people parking on the *public* road outside their houses are tts, however lorries and big, signwritten vans is totally taking the piss.

OP, you've already provided covert pics of the driver and his vehicle. Obviously the next course of action is for you to follow him when he drives off in his citroen. You should film it for our entertainment too. Let us know how it goes.

Totally. Our neighbour has complained before about our visitors parking outside their house for <5min (eg grandparents picking up / dropping off our children). They have one car which is parked on their drive and as everyone on the road has a drive there are only a couple of cars parked on the road.

Didn't complain to the visitors just berated my wife (was lucky for him that she had the children in tow at the time though. )

They will take one look at the e-mail and sweep it under the carpet.

Not if the OP takes this up with the appropriate licensing authority they won't. That will have the desired effect. Up to the OP. These heavy machines cannot legally be parked inappropriately on the road for any length of time and cerainly not continuosly. The firm will be held responsible.

Is that parrot STILL on holiday?

Wheelie bins at the front of houses should be made illegal too.

I rather like the cover on the one on the left. Once they've saved up enough for one per bin, it'll look quite nice.

Im sure all those lorry and van driver's who park outside a neighbours house, rather than their own are of exactly the same opinion as you when it suits them.

Roadsweepers are cool....some of them have two steering wheels!

This. I recall how excited I used to get, as a young boy, when I saw a road sweeper, refuse truck, bus of non-regular variety, etc. When did we all kill the child within?

Can you not request that council rehouse you? Perhaps move to a different estate? Or have you considered buying privately?

[Acehood]

I think you should stop stalking this guy and just go and ask him out. Taking photos of him without his consent is not the way to win him over.

[CoolHands]

do I need 'consent'?

anyway, no reply to my email, but no sign of them yesterday so perhaps it did have an effect.

Google the company name. Try to find the directors telephone number. Then keep ringing him up at awkward times, and tell him vandals are wrecking his equipment.
