The refuse disposal amenity act 1978????

[tweed]

Can't get hold of them!


I'm just ranting!!! I didn't know of this act and don't think many people do. If I did it would be in a garage.
I may as well throw £2000 in the air.

Just get some more plates made up off the other GTI, whack them up and park one of them a few roads apart.

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.

It really doesnt make sense, surely to tax and MOT you need insurance anyway  . Defo a ballache but your a bit legless here  .

Is that Haverhill council In Suffolk? Bunch of w*nkers if you ask me  


(I do hope it's someone's job to google and get feedback about how people think the council works?)

Just get it on a Driveway or in a garden an out the way.

Don't think they won't do it, I lost my mk4 the same way, left it in my allocated private parking sorn'd when I moved up north (still own the flat)

And a few week later got a call from my neighbour saying my car was gone!

Council/DVl funking A took it and 'crushed' it (f**king stripped it more like)

A £1700 car with £3k of recent mods

[snifferdog]

Bring it to mine mate, Ive got a drive and a garage! Leave me the keys!! 

[tweed]

pissed me off that they only gave me four days to move it, it's as if they think I knew about the act and that I know I'm in the wrong. Think they should inform you first or give you more time.

I can't drive it, it needs to be towed and I work long days. Most the time I work away from home.

See what they say tomorrow.
it's west suffolk council

[bodga]

how long does it take to evict squatters? sleep in it until its taked and MOT'd

If you or a friend is catching some zzz in the mk3 they cant take it to the crusher. human rights?

[Jay]

You've got four days to do something about it, it's going to be MOT'd and taxed in two days, what's to worry about?
Keep hounding them by phone and email, you have two whole days to move it somewhere else and to contact them and explain it's taxed and MOT'd. Heck take a pic of the MOT cert and email it to them.

I got one of those nasty notices stuck to my Golf2 last December, so had to picked up and scrapped within the time they said to sort it out (7 days iirc) and in FEBRUARY I get another letter saying they're going to fine me for still having the car on their land when it's already been scrapped 3 months earlier

I couldn't get hold of them by phone, so emailed as many email addresses I could find on the local council's website asking for it to be forwarded to the correct department because I couldn't find any useful info, I stated what had happened in December and that the car hadn't been there for almost 3 months and asked why they wanted to fine me. Needless to say I had a very apologetic email from them saying they won't be taking the matter any further, knobers.
