I would try approaching in a friendly matter to see what their justification is.


My neighbours did this with their bins, though clearly one of them had movement issues. They've had a disabled bay put in eventually. That is the correct way for them to deal with it.


No one has the right to reserve a space with a bin, if they won't engage to talk with you about why the would reasonably need it. Just Park in it regardless.

It is definitely illegal as it contravenes the Highways Act 1980.

You can take pictures and report it to the council. They can potentially receive a fine and/or be prosecuted.

I've had the same experience on my road where parking is limited due to the number of driveways. I've moved them out the way and parked there if necessary and left notes to say it is illegal. However if I do continue to experience this problem, I will be reporting it and taking next steps.


Hope this helps!

It?s only ok really when expecting heavy deliveries/builders (ie. not Ocado).

The norm seems to be if we see bins out like that, it?s for this purpose, so we respect their need and look elsewhere.

Constantly hogging the same space is out of order, move the bins to pavement.

BTW - do you ever need the space yourself ?

    • Ask him politely if you can help him.  I remember staring at my old flat.  Can I help you a neighbour asked.  Yes I said, I had seen that they have split it into two flats. And we had a chat about it.  
    • Hi. I’m looking for an Ikea ekanaset armchair in light grey fabric (now discontinued) to match one I already have. Just asking on the off chance someone is about to get rid of one!  Would need to be in good condition. Thanks. 
    • Hi folks, I'm hoping it's nothing, but we've noticed a man drive up outside our house in a white Jaguar XE 2.0 (example pic below), get out, take some photos of the building work with his phone, and then drive off. We've seen him do this a couple of times over the last couple of months.  Reg BP16 UAJ. Is it anything to be concerned about? I'm hoping it's just an architect or someone interested in the design and building work...
    • So glad you found this poor little thing....  I heard that so many people tried to catch it as it was running in the road.  Well done!
