parking a large company vehicle

regprentice

This thread reminds me of an article I read about inland revenue inspectors hanging around supermarket carparks to catch people using commercial vehicles for private use. You can commute...but if you do more such as shopping or the school run then you should be taxed for personal use on the vehicle.

Could be the case that if you believe that the individual uses the vehicle for more than commuting you should see if hmrc are interested. Even stopping at a newsagent on the way to work counts as long as its a frequent occurrence.

I have two neighbours who argue over on street parking (one side of our street is raised and they cant have driveways). One has actually borrowed his friends cars to fill spaces up so that the other one suffers. So do others in the street including three pensioners who require daily nurse visits.

A few people have mentioned covenants placed on new-builds. A covenant can only be enforced by the company or individual who placed it.
We have covenants where I live banning commercial vehicles (of any size), the external drying of washing & running businesses from the properties. However, the developers are no longer interested in upholding the covenants once the last property was sold. They use the covenants to keep the area presentable for when they are selling the properties they are building.

So, out of 30 flats, we have 4 large vans, 9 people who dry their washing outside and 3 who run a business from their flats. So much for the covenant.

Why? So you have carte blanche to post even more of your nonsense?

Because member tilt brought it up for some utterly bizarre reason.

And what advice exactly have you bought to the thread??

I advised the OP to move to a property where parking won't be a worry (ie a more upmarket abode) and to stop being a busybody.

Or to lump it.

No he didn't... he was responding to arcon5 who mentioned that the 'driver has paid his road tax' or words to that effect.

No I know it's difficult for you, but please try and keep up.

No it wasn't!

It was in response to you because you initially mentioned that the driver had not paid the road tax, but the company did, and a member correctly pointed out that that was irrelevant.

Now you don't even know what waffle you say one minute to the next!;)

Brilliant! Just what this forum needs... NOT. You have no idea what the exact circumstances that the OP is experiencing or whether the road is adequate to accommodate such a vehicle without causing a problem.

Tell you what... if the OP gives us a clue to where the problem is so we can check the street and it is clearly wide enough so that the truck can be parked without causing this issue, I will beg for your forgiveness and agree with you. How's that??

Ye, that could work. Or it could see your window being smashed or your jaw being broken.. or something.

Tyres do sometimes just go flat on their own. Can be very inconvenient.
