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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
