What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Away from bedroom windows
Monken Hadley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
