Where the van can actually work
Parking for a man-and-van move is not just about finding a space nearby. In Jesmond, the useful question is whether the van can stay in a legal, workable position long enough to keep loading efficient. resident bays, pay-and-display stretches and busy side streets can make a close stop unreliable, especially where apartments share limited kerb space.
If the only realistic stop is further away, every trip becomes slower.
Why a fallback matters
Even where streets look easier than the city centre, move-day conditions can change fast. A backup stopping option helps when the preferred bay is occupied, blocked or time-limited.
That is especially important on smaller jobs where repeated short carries quietly eat into the schedule.
