Parking commercial vehicle

[SteveSxx]

Every evening we keep on getting a large van parking outside our house - tight up against the (dropped kerb) gateway - this obstructs the view, and could cause an accident when pulling out
The road is a cul-de-sac and the *unknown* driver obviously lives in a nearby street (without any parking) - he has already moved his parking spot from round the corner (due to complaints) - my question is what can we legally do to prevent him frpm parking so close to us ?

Nothing.

He is not obstructing the free flow of traffic, nor is he preventing you accessing your dropped drive.

You could make life awkward for him by blocking him in - or you could ask him not to park so close to your drive.

Park there yourself for a few days at the time he normally arrives home. See if he gets the message.

Ray of hope! You say 'a large van'. Is this Transit sized or bigger, like a 7.5T truck? If it is over 7.5T it requires an operators licence. If so, it should be in the window by the tax disc (like a tax disc, but probably orange or blue, though it could be white or green...thats VOSA for you!). In this case he must 'normally' park at an operating centre. Take the number off the disc (like OF 123456) and report to the Police or your local VOSA office (in the phone book). If it is Transit sized, I'm afraid like Ethel says, you will be struggling.

a Neighbour solved the problem eventually - by temporarily parking his car in the space then moving it after 9pm - the van driver got the message
