"We will continue to work with businesses to encourage them to advertise their vehicles in a responsible and legal manner."

    “@notrequired it is Goole Town Council you need to be complaining to. And some are not on the insurance database, even though they are taxed.

    Council need to hurry up with the restricted waiting on Boothferry Road then these cars can be clamped and crushed. Who in their right mind would buy a car on the roadside anyway especially a T or R reg car.”

    “Which they would stop them selling cars on the road side in Goole.

    Every single one has the same handwriting on the for sale sign and the same Eastern European way of stating the cost. When will Goole Town Council clamp down on it.”

    “I wish the council would act on the illegally parked cars down MY street that I have reported IN WRITING 3 times... I have to apply and pay for a residents parking permit for the "privilege" of parking down my own street... but if I so much as move my car, someone jumps in there and leaves it there while they go to work, or shopping all day.. yet i so much as park with a millimeter of my tyre on the white line and i am slapped with a fine !!.. Easy target..... as the permit number gives away my name and address... so no need to apply to DVLA to get the details... so saves the council money !!.. Hull City Council = incompetence !!”

    “I'm all for buissinesses having a go but there must be some recourse for residents whose access gats blocked by thoughtless and sometimes intimidating tradesmen. On my street we have to negotiate a vehicle recovery truck at one end and at least 1 builders truck and van, same builder, and then his and his partners car. As the vehicles are quite large he thoughtfully parks them out side other peoples homes and usually on the pavement. Knob.”

    Ha ha! Yeah like a bunch of overpaid civil servants can grasp the concept of business and money generation.”
