Man and Van Camden Parking

July 27th, 2009

man and van high tech signs 300x225Man and Vans, London’s leading light removal service, knows how hard parking can be in the capital. Man and Vans offers advice on Parking Bay Suspension contracts in London and even recommends The Water Delivery Company and Ticket Buster for those unfortunate parking tickets. Now, however, Camden Council has introduced the most unpredictable parking possible – parking signs that change electronically.

Drivers for Man and Van Camden have often said that the details on signs change from one minute to the next but now these claims can be proven. Camden Council has installed new high tech signs on the pedestrian area of Eton Avenue, Swiss Cottage. The signs change depending on whether Swiss cottage Market is opened or closed. The new signs will replace an unreliable bollard that was installed in 2004 to protect the pedestrian space in front of the Hampstead Theatre.

Man and Van Camden is fully up to date with the new parking in that area and being London’s original light removals service is ready and prepared to deal with any bigger purchases you may make in Swiss Cottage.

Man and Vans is London’s original light removals and man and van service. To contact us either email sales@maandvans.com or call 0845 170 0660

Man with a Van – Parking Ticket advice

April 14th, 2009

man with a van parking ticket londonMan and Vans provides Man with a Van services to business and residential customers across London – and as part of this struggle on behalf of our customers to deal with parking wardens. Although we assist customers with avoiding tickets sometimes tickets are issued erroneously or maybe occasionally because the parking warden is having a bad/vindictive day.

We cannot take responsibility for tickets – laid out in our terms and conditions – while on removals work for a customer so we provide full details on how to avoid these tickets.

Councils allow Removals Exemption

Although not commonly accepted by councils in day to day parking enforcement –   in the detail on their parking regulations most authorities allow an exemption to a removals of furniture. If you contact your local council you can get a definite answer on whether they will accept this commonly held exemption.

Cover yourself and getting a parking bay suspension

In our experience though the exemption above is not enough to ensure that our vehicle remains ticketless. However parking wardens will leave us and you alone if you apply in advance for a parking bay suspension – to the sceptical it does look like they only leave you alone if you have paid for the privilige.
If worst happens you can challenge the ticket

Although we require that customers pay in full for parking tickets received at the end of the job – you can request that we don’t pay it immediately so that you can put in a claim against the ticket. We recommend Ticket Busters who claim to get off 90% of parking tickets. In our experience through a related company –  The Water Delivery Company –  this can be the case as long as you have a valid reason and relevant documentation backing up your claim.

Parking Bay Suspension contacts in London

February 17th, 2009

man and vans parking suspensions 225x300Our removals customers often need to arrange for parking bays to be suspended over the course of a removal. This can be arranged with local councils if you are using parking bays or with Transport for London if customers need a suspension on a red route or other centrally controlled roads.

Suspensions can also be arranged on red routes and roads managed by Transport for London and this is centrally managed by TFL rather than local councils.

Please note that Man and Vans will help customers as much as possible to arrange parking bay suspensions but we cannot be held responsible for any parking tickets that are picked up during removals work – this is all laid out in our terms and conditions.
