Default hiding ugly gas tanks: regulations

Well, mine is almost invisible behind overgrown anemone japonica, a vast
phormium, and a random assortment of tallish ground cover plants. You can
only get at it at all from the front, and then you have to shove the veg
back a bit. But you can stand on the drive and reach in to get at the port
on the top, so the important bit is accessible.

My mother's is closely surrounded on 3 sides by willow hurdles and a
shrubbery - with a discreet entrance onto the drive at the right angle for
the tube from the lorry to go straight in.

No communications from Calor about either, thought I'd have thought if
yours was a fire risk, ours certainly are!

Reading between the lines of your posting, I wonder if you had a new
delivery man, and he didn't realise that there was a proper entrance on the
other side?

Or could it be that it is awkward for them to manoever their Big Gas Tube
round the enclosure to the entrance on the far side? I am not sure how
rigid the pipe is, but maybe it's a fiddle to take it round in a circle?
