I'm entirely in agreement with the posters above, I've raised this as I don't see why a legally parked, insured etc. etc. vehicle should have to be be taken away by the Council. The definition of an an abandoned vehicle by gov. uk is one which has been left for a 'significant' period of time. Councillors were not able to say what that period might be, or indeed answer the question as to whether they would be liable to prosecution for the confiscation and disposal of a perfectly legally parked, etc.etc. vehicle . The WhatsAp group on which this has been discussed uses the phrase 'eyesore', (it's a blue Van) and mentions that it has a Glastonbury sticker on it, maybe that's a clue to the agenda here. Chesterfield Grove has other vans, large cars and SUVs, if one was to be parked outside my house for a long period of time, it might be a bit annoying but I certainly wouldn't lobby the Council to have it removed. As this will be my last post can I once again urge anyone who might know who it belongs to contact them to take some action, possibly moving it to another parking space in Chesterfield Grove will satisfy everyone

Does anyone know who owns the blue Transit van reg. NV61 NXL which has been parked in Chesterfield Grove for the last few months? Despite being legally parked, insured, taxed and MOT'd procedures have been set in motion to have the Council remove it as an abandoned vehicle.

When Marks and Spencers took over the Iceland site residents of Chesterfield Grove had concerns about the timing of vehicle deliveries. Iceland had restricted their delivery times so as to not disturb residents. At the planning application meeting Marks and Spencers insisted that their business model required deliveries at all times and then produced a ground plan showing how all their vehicles could enter from the Lordship Lane end and negotiate the tight turn around the wall of the car wash to access their delivery yard so that there would be no vehicle movements down Chesterfield Grove. As anyone who lives in Chesterfield Grove and Melbourne Grove now knows this is not the case and vehicles repeatedly drive down Chesterfield Grove to execute a three point turn at the junction of Chesterfield Grove and Melbourne Grove. Vehicles also enter and leave via Melbourne Grove to avoid Lordship Lane (For example two at 9.00 am this morning, entering from Melbourne Grove) No doubt their drivers are under pressure to make their deliveries on time and do this because the entrance is often blocked by vehicles from the car wash and badly parked cars. As a responsible company Marks and Spencers should deal with this nuisance and potential hazard and do what they claimed they would do instead of allowing this unsatisfactory situation to continue. Could any else who feels that this is problem please raise their concerns with Marks and Spencers and local councillors?
