The story about a chap who CCBC claimed parked his van in the wrong place has evoked some interest:
" Steven Scott has been told to shift his van from near his home because the council thinks it being parked in Abergele Road means he is advertising his firm
The recent story of a tradesman being ordered to move his van by Conwy council because it is "vehicle mounted advertisement" has received an outpouring of support from Daily Post readers. Conwy Council have ordered Mr Scott, who parks his van by his home, to move it because it is free advertising. Mr Scott claims he is doing nothing more than parking his vehicle near to his home.
Thirty-year-old Mr Scott used to be homeless and started his business, All Year Biker, with the help of the Princes Trust. In a letter Paula Jones, Conwy council’s development and building control manager, wrote: "It has been brought to the Local Planning Authority’s attention that throughout the last several weeks your vehicle has been parked on Abergele Road for considerable lengths of time, without seemingly being moved, sometimes for days on end.
Readers took to the Daily Post's Facebook page to pledge their support for Mr Scott.
Josh Tomos Davies wrote: "What a stupid statement from the council. There's hundreds of vans across North Wales advertising their business and other councils don't say anything because it is common sense. Good luck with your business dude!"
BongoRaggles agreed: "Ridiculous, it's a mobile operating business offering a service within our county to individuals and businesses, it probably moves at random times, I've personally seen it at other locations so it's definitely not static. Is our council that bored that they have to make this young man's fledgling business in this economic time of hardship that much harder?"
Andy Hilton added: "If it's on the road and its taxed and insured tell them where to go.":"
