Probably don't want to get in trouble when the council finds they're cluttering up roads with their employees?

Apparently, this is it I've heard. Council get wassed off when they find out that clientco cars are all around the place.

But my answer is, well theres yellow lines around half the roads but not others. As long as I'm parked legally then its tough tittie and sod off to both clientco and council. Get yellow lines done then.

Of course, dont tell clientco that. Just say yeh ok and say nothing of course.

That's not how it works. My street has free parking but it's for residential use - a business who started cluttering the street up with their employee's cars would be at fault and a company is surely responsible for its employees to some extent. Sure you're a contractor but the point still stands, no yellow lines doesn't mean no restrictions at all. If lots of people park there and the council get complaints, they might impose restrictions like yellow lines/no-parking zones/parking permit zones, etc.

Bollacks mun. Since when does parking in this country differentiate on what the car is being used for? If there are no yellow lines or restrictions or whatever then you can park there regardless of what your motive is be it going to work, going dogging, going shopping, or because you live there. Obvious unless its residents permit parking you arent going to see signs saying if you live here you can park, but not if your working around the corner.

Even as an employee I would tell employer to get stuffed if they told me where I could park my car on a pulbic road.

IF the council get complaints then of course they're quite within they're rights to follow due process and introduce restrictions but until then I'll legally park where I want.

Used to have a mate who used to go and ask people to move if they parked in front of his house. No yellow lines or anything. Complete nutter he was. Used to reckon the road in front of his house was his property. Used to piss myself laughing that he was so weird.

I've seen more and more clients stating that contractors can't park in the company car park

Makes me nervous leaving the 911 parked on a road

You've answered your own question... Parking is frequently differentiated based upon usage - hence residents permit parking.

If residential streets start being used as overflow parking for a business it won't take long before those streets become residents permit parking. Until then sure, you or anyone else is free to park there, but the greater the number, the more the complaints, the quicker such restrictions will be imposed.

if it was parked in front of his driveway then he is right.

he almost certainly doesn't own the area of road or pavement in front of his house though. There will be a restriction in the deeds.

They are building the most massive carpark in the world at the station next to clientCo. Double storey and goes on further than the eye can see. Feck knows how they're going to fill it.

I can help them

I worked at an new office where the car park seemed to take up only half the space available, there was a large section of flat waste ground next to it, I was told that they only got planning for a percentage of the space for parking in order to reduce the car journeys of staff.

It was next to a motorway as well and 2 miles from a train station.

Yeh, IF restrictions are in place. Not if the road is yellow line/marking free. BTW - its not residential streets in my case. Its roads on an out of town 'science park'.
