Notice for parking restrictions?
Just before going on delivery today we were told by our DOM that as of this coming Monday no private vehicles can be parked on-site. This includes the staff car park to the side of the building. Obviously we knew this would happen eventually as the space will be needed for the CDVs once the revision comes in, but that's not for at least 2 weeks. The new CDVs aren't due until the beginning of next week so we can't understand his decision. Should we have been given notice of more than one day so people had time to look at alternatives? Our office is in north London and some people come in from Essex, Herts and one even from south London - all by car.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

No notice needed. It is apparently not a requirement for them to provide parking for employees.
Happened about 2 months before our revision. Managers and key holders are allowed to park as well as union rep and anyone who works in the office.

A rota so those live furthest should get the spaces, would be fairest thing to do. In another office they do this, and also when the parked vans get moved the yard spaces are available until 3pm when distribution are about. Edmonton I take it?regan wrote:No notice needed.

Re: Notice for parking restrictions?
We've never been allowed to park on site in my office.
Thank yourself lucky that you could before.
Managers are still allowed though......
