parking in a private estate.
The driver has a huge with more than enough space for the bus
He parks in the hourse shoe at the end of the road

It depends on the the local authority, afaik. Some prohibit it and others have no specific protocol. Check with your relevant local authority. I checked this with SDCC a few years ago and they were prohibiting it in some areas on a 'pilot scheme'. I haven't checked into it since as I moved house.

Ok

Found this in document on councils website. meath.ie

Chapter 10 Development Management Guidelines & Standards



Heavy Vehicles
The indiscriminate parking of heavy commercial vehicles or machinery in residential areas
detracts greatly from the amenities of these areas. It is the intention of the Planning Authorities
to protect and improve residential amenities in all areas of the town. The Planning Authorities
will co-operate with all other bodies that exercise control over this type of parking, to eliminate
the nuisance created.

Is this basically saying its not law but the local authority will help to stop the offenders?

Would this be in a village in North county Dublin by any chance?

If the estate has a management company they usually have house rules against that. If that fails try your local fire officer, people don't realise that these are fire brigrade turning areas and should be left free. Over in the States they have all these areas red curbed and if you park there you are towed.

Otherwise just park your car first in such a way that he can't park it there.:D

I thought that a new law was introduced about 5 years ago prohibiting the parking of HGV's over 7500kgs in estates. But if others have searched for it and can't find it I am probably wrong! Try enquiring with a younger Garda (fresh out of Templemore)....

you live in Bray? there's a guy in my state that drives one, and either parks it at the end of the cul de sack where he lives, or parks it on the green right at a bend in the road!
