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

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
