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.

How do you know it's "abandoned"?

Why is there a move to have it removed?  Is it causing an issue besides being an inconvenience to you/neighbours?

Maybe the owner is away for a long period of time?

If it's all legal then why is anyone creating a fuss?

If all the details about it are known, surely rather than removing it, the council should contact the owner if they think it's causing some problem (though if it's legally parked there, I fail to see what that has to do with the council or anybody else).

As per a previous post on EDF, worth reporting to police on 101 in case it is stolen.  That could be a helpful thing to do.  If it's not stolen and it's parked legally then it's not going anywhere.

 

"........the Council's responsibility is only to remove abandoned vehicles. Any vehicle that has been involved in a crime ( such as theft ) is the responsibility of the Police. If you suspect that a stolen vehicle has been left on your street, please phone non-emergency police on 101 and they will see if its stolen and get it removed, if appropriate."

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

    • 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".
