What a great idea! Instead of just one space why not reclaim several?

"In 2005, artists in San Francisco reclaimed an ordinary car parking
space and turned it into a miniature park for the day. Since then a
growing movement has adopted a Park(ing) Day where cities around the
world appropriate parking spaces for public use. This year it's on
19th September. In Leeds meet outside Leeds City Museum, Cookridge
Street at 3.30pm. To start park(ing) in your town see www.parkingday.org
for inspiration...

Will you be coming up to Leeds for it, Doug?

Frivolous hypermobility, causing death of grass, lame cross-pondian
bollocks.

Most American cities don't have the wealth of open parkland that is
typical of British cities. Perhaps instead os sponsoring stupidity you
should just pop out and enjoy one of the many parks made available to
you entirely free?

In that case they'll still be looking for it next September 'cos it's
not there. LOL

Tossers.

This looks like littering / fly tipping to me. If enough people email 

cs.enforce@leeds.gov.uk

With Mr Bollen's contact details the Council will be bound to act as
he is on record as being an accessory before the fact.

"Environmental Protection Act 1990

Sec 87 (1) - If any person throws down, drops or otherwise deposits
in, into or from any place…and leaves, anything whatsoever in such
circumstances as to cause, or contribute to, or tend to lead to, the
defacement by litter of any place…shall be guilty of an offence."

Of course the mere presence of the Luhgless one's scrawny frame could
be regarded as an offence in it's own right.

No, unfortunately, but I am hoping something similar will happen in
London, within cycling distance.

Oh, go on, Doug.  I'll even let you camp in my garden.
