If the vehicles are untaxed they shouldn't be on the roads surely? You have to file a SORN declaration and part of that is that they are off-road. Has anyone tried reporting them as Abandoned Vehicles via Southwark Council? Also, try calling the DVLA and asking them if there is any interest at their end.

i had to come back & find this post again!!!! again theres no parking on whateley road this evening.... my friend is arriving shortly, im not sure where he's gonna park? i see at least 4 cars that belong to "le garage", he don't even live here!!!!
yes terrible, fancy these long established businesses taking the piss like this. What you lot want to do is get a front garden turn it into off road parking and then your problems are solved. of course that would just mean that no other fucker could park anywhere nr lordship lane to go shopping, but fuck them right ? after all you used to live in Clapham !

If you want to get an untaxed vehicle moved, go to

Yes, a notice will go on the car and the garage will probably move it before it gets towed, but at least they'll start to get the message that they cannot act with impunity.

Written in your usual neighbourly manner, afn. However, there is actually a valid point obscured beneath all the bitterness. It's a garage, they need to put their cars somewhere. You could argue that such a business shouldn't really set up on a residential road - and I'd agree - but it's there now, and has been for a while, so what can you do?

Why would do you want to drive to lordship lane anyway, surely you have everything you need in Nunhead!

Yep all of us ... the whole damn lot of us used to live in Clapham! What a strange comment.


A long established business? An established business that was built without approval on a public thoroughfare I think you'll find. One that has continually taking the p1ss out of it's neighbouring businesses and residents, one that has cost the council a 5 figure sum in party wall surveying and won't repay, one that doesnt have permission to build the monstrosity of a garage that it currently has in either an upwards or sideways direction... one that doesn't have a roof! One that regularly services high powered boats (great noise on a sunday morning), regularly services cars on the road in direct contravention of it's "lease", one that seemingly never gets a parking ticket for any of it's vehicles on yellow lines for weeks on end, one that seemingly has a "hold" over the council, one that publicly allows beatings of members of their own family for being so silly as to get run over(that was a good one), one that doesnt want to use it's own bins and makes use of any skips/bins they can find for their commercial waste, one that uses it's toilet to put sawdust and car oil down thus creating a back log of "sewage" running up Whateley Road (hmmmmm smell that!)


Sorry am I boring you? Or are you boring me with some random Clapham jibe which isnt applicable to anyone I know on Whateley Road?

morning ! are you sure your not from Clapham, you do sound like you are ? no not boring me but you are rather in a bit of denial, i am well aware that the Clapham boating club meet in a property on Whateley road, in fact that is why these boats are getting serviced, i think you may not know your neighbours as well as you think.


They are obviously doing something right as you have firmly pointed out that they " regularly services high powered boats (great noise on a sunday morning), regularly services cars " so they must be busy. Why don't you and jezzy get together and think "hey we live in sarf london so fuck them" then go round and give them a good tuning ! that way neither of you will be bitter and stressed, wracked with feelings of powerlessness, and you can finally put some of those rugger bugger skills to good use. Come on boys you know you want to.

ooh and your right i do have everything i need in nunhead lane i have a, Fruit and Veg shop, 2 butchers, a bakers, a wet fish shop, 2 florists, 3 news agents, 2 chemists several public houses, a sprinkling of other businesses and when i am done with it all a Funeral Parlour ! but i do love a spin down the lane its a good day out lots more shops and lovely people, the ones form clapham are a bit odd but hey you can't have it all. Plus you have a really good brothel at the back of william roses, cueing for meat may arse !

Yes, I do like an opportunity to put my rugger bugger skills to good use! How well you know me!


You are also correct in your implication that people from Clapham often own high powered boats. Just check out all those speedboats lining the streets there. I reckon they must have all been succesful Bullseye contestants or something.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
