Parking
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7961117.
The vehicle is often left there for extended periods and is quite large which obstructs the view from my property detracts from the residential character of the street and can potentially pose a safety issue especially for children playing nearby or pedestrians crossing the road. It also limits available street parking for residents and guests.
The owner resides on a nearby street yet chooses to park the vehicle in front of my home on a regular basis.I took the initiative to speak directly with the owner of the vehicle in hopes of finding a neighborly resolution. Unfortunately the conversation did not go well and was met with hostility and escalated into verbal abuse leaving me uncomfortable and unable to pursue the matter further on my own

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Thank you for your report.
For the enforcement officers to be able to issue a Penalty Charge Notice there must be a traffic regulation order in place which creates a parking restriction for example double yellow lines. This allows the officers to issue a penalty charge notice to vehicles in contravention to that restriction.
If there is an obstruction of the road or pavement or blocking drive or any dangerous parking, this is the responsibility of the police to investigate and enforce.
They can be contacted on 101 or you can complete their ASB form online to report the obstruction - https://www.cambs.police.uk/ ro/ report/ asb/ asb/ report-antisocial-behaviour/
It is not an offence to park a motor vehicle, with the exemption of a HGV, on a grass verge, pavement or road, unless it is causing an obstruction or there is a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) in place prohibiting it, any illegal parking (example double yellow lines) can be reported directly to the parking enforcement team on: parking.enforcement@peterborough.gov.uk or call 01733 452241 Monday to Friday 09:00am to 17:00pm
Alternatively, you could request in writing for double yellow lines to be painted and see if this is something that Peterborough City Council can assist with. You can email them directly on: trafficregulation@peterborough.gov.uk
Request a verge and pavement parking restriction in your area In areas where there is currently no restriction on parking on the verges or pavement residents can request one for the area, they live by contacting the council. Residents may not request one for streets in which they do not live. Email: vergeparking@peterborough.gov.uk
