Regulations for 25cwt comercial vans being parked in residential areas in Wolverhampton?

Question

The van is parked outside my house every day. I have been in touch with the company but nothing has been done. I have sufferede this for 4 years and have got high blood pressure and have bouts of depression. It has impacted on the price of my house, and I dont see why I should move due to inconsiderate, disrespectful people. I want to now check out another avenue. The man that drives the van is retired and 70 years old, he works from 10am till 3.30pm every day, but the van is not moved at all over the weekend. Does anyojne know anything about income tax that should be paid on thes van if they are brought home? Thank you for any swift replies.

Answer 1

you have only yourself to blame for your high blood pressure and depression if you think the parking of a 25cwt van
. get your life in order the so called van is only about the same size as a normal car. restrictions only come into effect when the van is over 7.50 tonnes and just to infrom you income tax on use of company vehicles only apply to cars and not commercial vehicles so you aint going to get far going that route.and just because he is seventy makes no difference whatsoever.it may be a hindrance but nothing he is doing is illegal at all he obviously lives there so you want to know what to do about it my best advice is for you to move for the sake of your health. you have no complaint whatsoever
the size of the van is so small as to make the differential between a commercial and a private car almost unnoticeable.YOU may have been in touch with the company and to be honest they probably think you are some form of nutter to complain about such a matter. I live on a street where ppl park vans and pick-ups yes they get my goat but they dont make me ill or give me high blood pressure.I believe you area vexaious old goat who just wants to cause rouble for someone and you have just realise you cannot the bestyou can hope for the business going bust and then no more van until then its not breaking any laws you will just have to live with it, I am not trying to be awful to you I am just telling you how it is. inconsiderate dissrespectful what for parking a van outside is own home and you dont like it I dont believe for one minute he parks outside your house deliberately.
the best thing you could is move house end of story it will be the best for both of you
DO ALL YOU REALISE A 25 CWT VAN IS NO BIGGER THAN A ESCORT CAR OR SIMILAR

Answer 2

you sound like a bunch of laughs, if it's a lorry it can't be parked outside a house, i've got a similar van and i like to be able to see it at all times , although i can see how it could be annoying to look at ,if it was metre's from your window but if it's just in the street then you may be being overly sensitive, i have youths in a car park across from me who shout out loud to there passing friends who drive past and sound there horns to each other and squeal tyres all night from 5pm until 2am most nights and i can't do a thing , try having that, post for everyone how far the van is away from your window u look from pls. so people can get some perspective of the problem.

Answer 3

He is obviously running a business of some sort,but have you talked to him about the parking?have you a car yourself?you realise anyone may park there.read the local byelaws on parking,especially regarding commercial vehicles and lighting law.Is the vehicle displaying a current tax disc,there are many avenues you can explore.But if you get him moved someone else may park there even worse,better the devil you know.

Answer 4

any vehicle over 7.5 ton has to have an operator licence.....check on his windscreen and see if he has one. meaning it must be parked at a nominated operating centre.

If not I dont think anything can be done legally.
maybe you could slash his tyres everyday for a week, that might do the trick

Answer 5

Call your local council - they have bylaws about this sort of thing - but it depends on the weight of the vehicle I think.
