I saw it at about 7.30am, this morning. Every Window is smashed Even the little side windows. Only the Windscreen wasn't shattered. No Skid Marks or nothing. Bizarre! It was right in front of the Murco Petrol Station. Whatever happened its got to be on the their Forecourt CCTV

I saw this too, reason why I came here as I thought surely someone would know what the heck happened. First I thought it was a car crash but the car has no marks of a crash except for all windows being smashed and I swear there was a bullet hole through the windscreen but I didn't get close enough to check (was getting some petrol).

Had it been a crime scene I would imagine there would be police guarding the scene?? I can only think of perhaps some sort of film being shot in the area. Hopefully someone will know what happened and hopefully not gun crime.

was it a jag-type car? There was a hell of a near-road rage incident in Bellenden Road yesterday late afternoon, with car abandoned in road and creating jam as two men in two jags who had stupidly refused to give way to each other shouted and screamed and looked like they might be 'phoning a friend'.

Sorry to spoil a good story but.....


It was me who called the Police.


It looked like some guy was trying to start it when it was parked by the gas canisters in the petrol garage. The alarm kept going off and he was getting more and more frustrated about not being able to get it started and the fact that the alarm kept stopping and started. Next thing i knew he was doing a full on John Cleese, got a hammer and started smashing all the windows. Anyway the police turned up but no one was to be seen.


I did like the crack shooting rumor though!

My friends, cousins, mother in laws nephew knows someone who works for the council & they say its the parking enforcements new policy on dealing with untaxed vehicles and parking with 2 or more wheels on the pavement.

Something to do with the fixed penalty notice being to lenient for offences of this type.

Just seen this thread, I know it's deviating slightly from original subject, but was this, Huggers, what all the sirens were about at approx. 5.00pm on Saturday, around the time the brief storm came in. Heard loads of them flying about and Police still up and down L.L. half an hour or so later when at the co-op store.

adonirum I didn't hear the sirens. I watched it unfold, the rain fell heavily, one man refused to move his car at all, so it blocked all traffic both ways down Bellenden Road, while the other man had pulled aside so they could shout some more. The whole thing had arisen cos there was only room for one and they both decided to go for it and got stuck and were scratching each others mirrors. Two jaguars, two stag-uars, at bay. At this point I made a dash out of the rain and headed for home, but had a feeling it would not all end there!

Mind you - I used to feel like beating my old car. Think I ended up kicking it's exhaust pipe once.


Cleese used a branch I think :)

I wish everyone would stop making fun about this car. They used to be everywhere and give us a real sense of community spirit.


Instead of trying to clean up & gentrify the area further by getting it removed, could we not get it turned into a community led finger painting skills development venue?

    • 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".
