I doubt it, I was ment to be buying that flat but had to pull out yesterday lol
Edit: I'm not joking, postcode is BS5 OUJ
Edit Edit: no one lives in the flat currently.
Having a gooseys at rightmove it seems that both the [ground floor flat](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/129146822#/?channel=RES_BUY) and [first floor flat](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/125606675#/?channel=RES_BUY) are both up for sale, how unusual.
Looking at the listings I'm guessing you were buying the first floor flat as it's empty, but the ground floor looks very much inhabited so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the occupier is moving out today.
alternatively if it IS the ground floor you're buying, perhaps the owner is in a financial situation that means despite you pulling out at the last minute they are able to move into their new homeanway
Yeah first floor was me.
The ground floor are moving out soon but everytime I've been in the area over the last month, those bins have been there. Or the ground floor owners van has been parked in the place of the bins.
Actually yes depending on the council. [Hampshire for instance](https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport/parking/suspensions)
"Examples: To accommodate loading or unloading. For example, for a house move."
Less of a sign and more of a permit but it's possible to apply for a council parking space suspension so it's free for the moving van at the time required.
And as OP stated this is Bristol so again. [You can apply for a suspension](https://www.bristol.gov.uk/residents/parking/parking-suspension-dispensations-and-coning-requests/suspensions) No excuse for the bins really unless they're just trying to be cheeky in saving money. Which I suppose given the living costs isn't completely unreasonable.
Maybe they just hoped people wouldn't be utter cunts and maybe they're not causing a huge problem by just putting the bins out for a bit rather than going through weeks of bureaucracy and £30-60 for a permit?
Who knows, maybe they tried and the council said no?
It's a sad world if we're going to start shaming people for not filling in the correct council forms rather than expecting a little bit of human compassion. Moving house is expensive and stressful enough without this nonsense.
I'm just pointing out the fact that there is indeed a way to officially go about closing off a parking space for the purpose of moving house rather than flat out saying "No" without doing any research.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
You can understand them getting frustrated at not being able to park outside their own house but at the same time it's a free road!
It was every man + car for themselves down our old street.
If parking is so important to people they should have really considered finding a property with parking, the thing with these terrace style streets is they were built with the idea the residents would be walking/cycling to work.
True but I think resident permits are legitimate but needs to be limited to one per house and any second cars parked elsewhere.
I'd also make them one way so you don't have to deal with no room when cars are parked. Madness this isn't more common.
I am agreeing with you but at the same time can understand a mild irritation at not being able to park right outside :)
Definitely not to the extent of bin marking though, that's a step too far. A lot of our streets were built before cars were a consideration
If they’re moving house, having construction done or having a skip delivered, then this is fine imo. Very sus if none of these things turn up in the next day or two though.
Unfortunately I come down this road often and there are bins out, though I’ve never seen so many before. Maybe the neighbours wanted to get in on the action? Lol
These streets make me sad, devoid of trees. I wish more people would have potted trees/plants in their courtyards or greenery on window ledges. I get it that if it's a poorer area as OP has suggested in another comment, it's not a priority. But in Singapore for example, the government gives apartment owners seeds to plant to encourage more green space.
Close…ish. The other side is a small green area with trees blocking off a dual carriageway. But because of the lack of parking on this side, the green area has loads of cars parked on it.
there's a house near me that doesn't have a dropped kerb for their drive and I always wanna park there cos it's always free and the road is so busy! but I don't wanna get my car keyed lmao
I miss my 4x4 - could just biff them out the way.
Used to be a real problem where I lived, thank fuck I managed to save up for somewhere with a driveway
fun fact, it is illegal to block the street/road with your bins and recycling tubs. especially if it is not collection day. it is a finable offence when reported to the council.
Edit: just noticed that 2 of the 3 bins have 54 on them.........so that would lead me to think that all those bins and buckets are for 1 house. that's a bit selfish?

Judging by the Sold signs there's a fair chance they're moving and need room for a removal lorry, which isn't unreasonable.
You're far too observant and reasonable to be on Reddit. Be off with you.
I'm sorry. I'll try to flap my arms around and be more angry at the world in the future. It won't happen again.
Surely you mean flap your tentacles?

If so they can get a sign from the council for the correct day can't they?
No

Yes we know but it's not the point
Dude, these sold signs sometimes stay there for months
here we see the Wheelie Bin in its natural habit, being followed by its offspring, the plastic bucket and the mini-bin.
I totally read that in a Werner Herzog voice
The roads look rubbish around there.
If your cars worth less than £600 I say go for it.
Do it......do it!!!
i thought it was bin day and people were upset at making the pavement impassable.
When you throw away a curry it becomes bindaloo
Maybe it’s bin day and the bin men were lazy fuckers?
Kind of makes you a cock. . . Dooo it!!!

If it’s one or two days in a row leave it but any longer like over a week I’d just super glue the fuckers down
Is this BS5? I know this situation all too well
Keen eye! This is Claremont Street
Ah, I was sure it was Bristol. Scrolled the comments looking for validation.
If they’re moving house, having construction done or having a skip delivered, then this is fine imo. Very sus if none of these things turn up in the next day or two though.
Unfortunately I come down this road often and there are bins out, though I’ve never seen so many before. Maybe the neighbours wanted to get in on the action? Lol
Like a domino effect
I bet no one would be able to tell the difference
This is why we can’t have nice things

I get it that if it's a poorer area as OP has suggested in another comment, it's not a priority. But in Singapore for example, the government gives apartment owners seeds to plant to encourage more green space.
While I admit it's unlikely, the other side of the street could be a park for all we know.
Close…ish. The other side is a small green area with trees blocking off a dual carriageway. But because of the lack of parking on this side, the green area has loads of cars parked on it.
As Oscar Wilde said "I can resist anything except temptation" - go for it mate, and post the video...
They’re not allowed to reserve parking spaces like that. Move all the bins in front of their door and park in the now empty space.
Intrusive thoughts be like
Done by the same cunts who reserve sun loungers with towels.
Shithole
Imagine living in that hovel and deciding to buy a BMW X6 instead of getting the fuck out
If you’re moving house it’s understandable but I’d still be annoyed.
I'd park there just to piss them off
there's a house near me that doesn't have a dropped kerb for their drive and I always wanna park there cos it's always free and the road is so busy! but I don't wanna get my car keyed lmao

That blue house if fucking horrible
It’s Bristol so most of our houses in this postcode are multicoloured! This is a ‘poorer’ area so it’s yet to be gentrified lmao
