Is it legal to park up your campervan on any street and live from it?

Someone has recently parked up their rather large Merc camper-van

and apparently decided to make an end of Rodwell Road their new home.

(I believe they were previously parked up on Jennings Road?)


Of course i'm not overly happy about this for several reasons like engine running

most evenings outside the house (fumes & noise) I'm also wandering where they deposit

their waste (both sorts!)They're also taking up quite a bit of road space in that

they also have a car. bla bla grumpy old man! but hey.


So, I'm just curious as to the legalities of this? that's all really.

Kind on nervous that this may turn into some long term settling!

technically, yes.


but have a word with them & raise your concerns- Im sure they would be amenable & wouldnt want to draw attention to their situation for obvious reasons.


getting the filth involved is probabaly a bit OTT IMH( liberal)O position - Im sure its not a permanent situation for them

What 'bout now said.


P.S. I can't help it but this reminds me of Alan Bennett's 'The Lady in the Van'. Hope it all gets sorted out soon for everyone concerned.

Seems to just be one person ranting. I can understand people not being too chuffed, but the argument of "we paid lots of money to live here" is not going to win you many friends.

Very kind, Senor Chevalier, you're a gentleman. I'm just observing the madness the other thread has taken on & the abuse I'm getting. Not cropping up again there, or else they'll be at me! Have a lovely afternoon everyone. Love & peace to you all X

You are getting abuse because your argument is based on assumptions you have made about the occupants of the van and then you are indignant to anyone that has a different view. Take the advice of those that have suggested it and go and have a chat with the van people. You might be pleasantly suprised by what you find out, sympathetic even.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
