This happened at night - when they are closed - and had it happened during the day I would probably have needed to give them at least a week's notice in order for them to stir themselves to do anything.<br /><br />A friend of mine lives in a nearby street and had an untaxed vehicle abandoned outside his house for nearly four months before the council bothered to remove it. Every time he phoned up to complain they told him they were trying to trace the owner to ask them to move it!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-62760845014770110092011-11-28T00:37:45.412+00:002011-11-28T00:37:45.412+00:00Robert,

It happens to me from time to time, apparently because the offenders think my drive is just a footpath - not a right of way for (between me and neighbours) six resident vehicles.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.com
