Untaxed and no MOT no number plate
Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7826561.
This van has been parked here since December 2024 and has moved once from one side of the car park to the other. It is out of tax and MOT and has never had a parking permit and has been issued numerous parking tickets. Last night the owner removed the number plate. The van is very dented and battered and the side loading door has been forced open with an angle grinder type power tool. This van is a nuisance and taking up a valuable parking bay that residents are paying to park in.
