There has been a car abandoned outside my house in Oglander Rd for nearly 3 months now & I'm getting a bit sick of it. The council are not interested in responding either by phone or email & the police don't seem interested either. It's a blue Ford Focus, unlocked & taxed. It's a perfectly good car & much newer than mine, so I presume it's been stolen & dumped.

If anyone has any bright ideas please let me know. If anyone would like to do something with it, it's YJ82 MHD & it's between Marsden & Muschamp.

Oglander

Ultimately there is nothing you can do. Its legally parked and taxed and parked in an area without a CPZ in force. Accordingly I'm afraid you're stuck with it for as long as people can park where they want. The only point you'll get interest is when the tax runs out.


Yet another reason why CPZs are so valuable!

That does not look like a valid registration because of the '82'. The numbers started at '51' and we are currently on '17' i.e. April 2017.

September last year was '66'

If you've given the correct reg it's not a valid one - possibly reporting it to the police as a false plate might increase their interest? Also, how do you know it's taxed? If it has a tax disc showing that it has tax up to date, that's fake too - nobody's had a paper disc issued since September 2014, so maybe that might interest police as well.

YJ52 MHD


✗ Untaxed

Tax due:

24 January 2005


MOT: No details held by DVLA


Vehicle make: FORD

Date of first registration: October 2003

Year of manufacture: 2002

Cylinder capacity (cc): 1388 cc

CO₂Emissions: 158 g/km

Fuel type: PETROL

Export marker: Yes

Vehicle status: Not taxed

Vehicle colour: SILVER


Not taxed since 2005, according to this, unless the plate has been cloned

This could be a valid plate if the J is a 1. Before 2001 year of registration was indicated by a letter at the start of the numberplate. This would then be a Y reg car from the year 2000. However, the 8 may be a 5 as mentioned above.

Think not - Y was March to August 2001, but anyway when they had that system there was a single letter age identifier, then three numbers, then three letters, e.g. Y 123 ABC.


ETA Cross-posted before your edited explanation.

I checked Y152MHD. Not on record.

Funny, I checked that (can't resist these detective efforts) on isitnicked.com and got a 2001 Peugeot 206 which hasn't been taxed since 2016 - plate lifted from a breaker perhaps (if the J is a 1).

My folks had exactly that model - brown vinyl seats to sear the skin of beshorted children in hot weather!

Ah! Thank you. It shouldn't be very important really, it's just a car, but this street is now so full of people with several cars & big ones at that, that we're all getting a bit possessive about space. Silly really to be so petty but - -!
We only got rid of one that had been right outside our house for months (a newish BMW too) when the council re-did the surface of the road and towed cars away. So probably some-one else is cursing it now. I tried to get rid of it, but failed

Sigh. If it had a valid parking permit, it could sit there for 12 months.


If you've ever lived in a CPZ, you'd be glad we don't.

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
