Parking on a bend.

[brenda]

On a road on an estate where I live a van is parked on a left hand bend everyday from late afternoon to around 8 am the next morning everyday Mon to Sat , and all day on Sunday .The road is wide eough in normal circumstances for 2 vehicles to pass each other safely.

The road runs down a steep slope and has 2 or 3 bends on it.

The parked van on the left hand bend means the which ever way you are travelling , up or down the road , as you approach this bend because of the van you cannot see oncoming traffic.
The road is well used by visitors and ambulances going to the residential home which lies at the bottom of the road.
The van is a Post Office van and the driver is a postman who lives in a house near to the bend.
There have been a number of times in the last few weeks where vehicles have end up almost nose to nose because they their view of the road is restricted.
How do you go about reporting this van and to whom -- please.

I don`t think postmen can take their vans home with them . It is probably a Parcelforce van, many of these drivers are self employed. Don`t know if this helps.

is there a black and white cat in the van?
