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

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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
