What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting for later visits
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Upper Edmonton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
