They were around earlier in the week too.


Interestingly (!) they seem to have clamped one old shed for having no tax, then come back, removed the DVLA clamp, and allowed the council to stick one of its "abandoned car, will be removed in 14 days" stickers on it

Blah Blah

It's actually the council contractor APCOA that issue the no tax clamps and then inform the DVLA (who issue the fine). APCOA will only tow the vehicle if it looks like it's worth something (i.e if they can sell it or it looks like the owner might pay to collect it). The abandoned vehicle notice just requests the owner to claim ownership. The vehicle can not be towed if the owner does get in touch. And if they don't, it can be sent to the scrap yard right away, therefore reducing APCOAs costs (ie no storage involved).

      Taxes

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Saw this today about Southwark voting in support of a tourist tax in the borough  BBC News - Tourist tax visitor levy comes closer in Southwark https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypvw0qln7o Makes me wonder what else they can find to tax, maybe a fine for breaking wind, or breathing or even a tax on windows. Of course I am being facetious but it does feel like if it moves, they will tax it.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Politicians particularly so....remember it's always party before people! I doubt McAsh will be in cabinet much longer...he might find even more attempts to kneecap his political career. I wonder if he might have to move to another area and restart - he obviously has political ambition but it seems Southwark is not going to be where it blossoms anymore - unless he can manage some sort of coup.

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.
