Pickle Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Find a couple of strong men/women and do a bit of gentle "bumping" of the car into a more appropriate position? Worked for our removal men a few years ago when trying to park their van and needing to move a car a couple of meters ;-)*thankfully neighbour was out, I don't think she noticed, and no harm was done to the car* Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20449-to-the-man-who-just-parked-on-my-street/page/2/#findComment-498416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Driving to the station - I suspect that the people who do this mainly live a 20min walk or so to the nearest station... potentially Underhill Rd sort of area. You may think it's lazy, but people are going to do it anyway. It's the downside you have to factor in, when you have unrestricted parking. I would probably do it too if I didn't live near the station.I don't think people would drive in from out of town to use ED station, they'd be more likely to go somewhere like Surrey Quays, with a tube and plenty of parking.Love the suggestions to call the Police - but are you sure it's not a matter for MI5? Should the military get involved?

joobjoob Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Some of the residents in our road who have more than one car to the household, do it on purpose-so that when the other person comes home they move the badly parked car and both get a place. Roll on defined bays! The best days are when those tiny little cars come along and scupper the plan.

intexasatthe moment Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 one who has just delivered > their handicapped relative/ neighbour somewhere > and has to get to work, That seems very unlikely from such a selfish @#$%&, and where is their blue badge?If you're in the process of picking up/dropping off a disabled person you display their blue badge ,but you can't use someone else's blue badge as a parking permit allowing you to park in restricted areas .

Salsaboy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 But what if the cars parked behind and in front of him move! Then there will be a different sized gap for other cars to fill.

catma Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Not sure what's more annoying though - that kind of lazy parking which disrupts the pattern of spaces, the "I'm leaving my car with a for sale sign outside your house for months" parking or the "I'm creating my own self defined CPZ with dustbins so you can't park at all" attitude. It's carmageddon out there.

pommie Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 You want to come and see our street in the mornings, we have cars constantly driving round and round waiting for a space to become available (or two spaces if you are inconsiderate!) and then they park up and walk to the DLR for a days work. If the residents use their cars in the morning we dont expect to be able to park in our street let alone outside our house. I remember when i was 8 months pregnant having to park around the corner and carry about 5 bags of shopping, no-one offered to help me of course!! Its so annoying, these days i leave the car and take the DLR if i have to go shopping or out anywhere in the morning Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20449-to-the-man-who-just-parked-on-my-street/page/2/#findComment-499053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

catma Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I always thought my road was tricky for parking, being right on the edge of a CPZ (entrance point visible from the front window...)and the first road outside it for the station, but reading all the posts on here I'm beginning to love the fact that I can always get at least a space somewhere in the street. Day time recycling of spaces happens but then I'm away with the car and by the evening all the lovely day trippers go home elsewhere and leave spaces again. Even with the gas works taking out half the road I've still parked in it every day.....bonus tonight when it was right outside the house!!! SE15 where the parking is easy/er!!(Until the man with his FOR SALE signs strikes again).
