New green box outside house

[Muppet1969]

Hi, We already have a green box outside our terraced house, came home from work yesterday and another one is in the process of being installed right next to our front door, it is alot bigger than the original one and looks awful, I have a disabled sister who visits regularly and parks her mobility scooter exactly where this box is, can it be moved? We had no notification of the box being installed.

It does seem a little bit inconsiderate to put the cabinet at that location and at that distance from the wall - how wide is the footpath now that cabinet has been installed? I think the magic number before this becomes an accessibility concern is 1200mm.

I would pursue this with the council and your local councillors rather than trying to get VM to care. It looks like it could have been sited right next to the existing cabinet with a little bit of rearrangement of where your VM box terminates. VM should also invest in alternative cabinet designs where footpaths are narrow rather than installing a standard unit everywhere.
