The refuse disposal amenity act 1978????

[tweed]

Who's heard of that then??? I haven't and I now have 4 days to move my car on private land otherwise the council take the car and charge me £150 


What can I do to argue to keep the car in the residential parking that is off the road and next to my house?

What if I was on holiday and didn't get the notice? bye bye car

does the council own the land its parked on


Where it appears to a local authority that the land on which a motor vehicle is abandoned as aforesaid is occupied by any person, the authority shall give him notice . . . F6 that they propose to remove the vehicle in pursuance of subsection (1) above but shall not be entitled to remove it if he objects to the proposal . . . within the prescribed period

yes they do. But who gives them the right to say it's abandoned? It's sorn and in my name. I didn't know of this act. I left a message saying I'm having it mot tomorrow and then taxing it. And that They should of contacted me first to see what is happening with this car. It will be on the road within two days but they can still take it?

It's a Golf3, abandoned on Council land.  People pay for skips and they only get them for so long. 

If it was on your land they couldn't do anything, but as it's Council-owned land you have to abide by their rules.  Shift it, or lose it.

Or do you think they're making it up?

yes they do. But who gives them the right to say it's abandoned? It's sorn.

question and answer is there - sorn would imply not in use / abandoned and its on their land and thus needs to obide by the rules of the road (same as any carpark etc)

[tweed]

Ok so haven't got a leg to stand on lol

No one you know have a drive you can put it on?

[Tazzy]

land costs money nowadays, and if youre using land owned by someone else, they will want money out of you regardless, no where is free nowadays, everybodys got their hands in your pockets

[Agreeable Slick]

Your story doesn't make sense.

You are getting it taxed and MOT'd tomorrow, so what's the problem? Get it insured and you are away.
