Abandoned van who the person uses it as storage with a fake licence plate
Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7115918.
This van has been parked here for months and months and yet the police not Greenwich council do anything about it and just carry on. Please we pay taxes for a reason and it would be kind enough to at least get rid of this abandoned van as drug dealers are now frequently hiding behind the van to do suspicious anti social activities. Also the person who towed this here just uses this for his kitchen storage items whilst you can see the van has had a broken window that the guy fixed but it's moulding everywhere inside and out and can cause diseases with rats spotted roaming around the van.
Please could the police or Greenwich council do something about this instead of stalling the situation, thanks.
