Council threatening to remove my vehicle from my driveway?

It It was genuinely from the council it wouldn't have been hand delivered. Someone has taken some letter headed paper (most likely a council tax bill) photo copied it blanking out the lower portion leaving just the heading then typed out their own wording then photo copied it again before posting it to you.
Its just an ar5e hole neighbour with no bottle to confront you, the weedy goofy nerdy type with very little else in their life..
Did they also build a time machine? No one has done that since 1997, and even then it would have been a pensioner. Council website, Right click the logo, copy, paste into word. Job done.Its just an ar5e hole neighbour with no bottle to confront you, the weedy goofy nerdy type with very little else in their life..
No photocopies or hours of your life required and it won’t look like a child has done it.
But you may be right on the motive.

A friend of mine had a hand-delivered notice from the Council, threatening a fine if they did not trim their enormous bush.
Needless to say, his wife was affronted until she realised it related to a conifer that had expanded about a foot over the pavement.
Now whether they walk or drive the streets looking for offending bushes, I know not but could this have been noticed on such a reconnaissance?
Good on the council, too many lazy arse@d barstewards letting their bushes cover the pavements, obstructing signs etcNeedless to say, his wife was affronted until she realised it related to a conifer that had expanded about a foot over the pavement.

There's an actual reference so seems legit. I guess we'll find out when I call tomorrow. No photocopies or hours of your life required and it won’t look like a child has done it.

Ok I got pics. It's actually about 2ft out. Whoops. Still, the wheels are on my property, so technically it's off the road, right?
The driveway isn't perpendicular to the road, so the corner of the van sticks out.
It’s blocking the pavement to some extent. There is no get out around the where the wheels are. The driveway isn't perpendicular to the road, so the corner of the van sticks out.

ty way to parkSo this flow chart from Encams/Defra is part of the abandoned vehicle policy on the council website.
It gets to the bit where it says 'Is the vehicle on a road?' In my eyes it either is or it isn't. The fact that they've given me a 15 day removal notice indicates that it isn't. Hence, I can object and they can't take further action... In theory.
