This vehicle (with a UK registration number?)appears to be untaxed is forever being parked up in this area of Folkestone. It is about time DVLA and Police take some action.
Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

SDCs response was prompt & concise (see here) but I suspect that that the usual 'passing the buck' comes into play here by all parties concerned and nothing wil be done. SDC RESPONSE: "I have conducted a vehicle inspection and from this I do not deem the vehicle to be abandoned. Shepway District Council only has the authority to remove vehicles under the Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978. It is the DVLA's responsiblity to enforce the removal of untaxed vehicles from the public highway. The DVLA are conducting a joint opertaion with Kent Police known as Operation CUBIT which targets untaxed vehicles in Shepway next week. I have therefore forwarded the details of the vehicle you have reported to us to be considered for this operation"
I rang the DVLA freephone untaxed vehicle help line in Swansea and as the registration number is not recognised by them it goes unreported!
