Police urge drivers to pick up abandoned cars in Wycombe
4:07pm Tuesday 22nd December 2009 in
POLICE have appealed to motorists who abandoned their cars in High Wycombe to collect them as soon as possible.
Inspector Tim McGirr said the roads need to be cleared for gritters.
He added: “The roads in High Wycombe are clear enough to drive on at the moment, but abandoned vehicles are causing an obstruction.”
Chiltern District Council spokesman Rachel Prance said while snow is covering over lines for parking bays penalty notices will not be issued.
However, once it melts, tickets can be given again.
"As soon as the snow goes it's business as usual," she said.

i moved mine today and slid all over the place on a main route which had not been gritted (ploughing it would be more effective!)

Why dont they put all the money they get through fines for cars put back into the roads and stop telling us lies about they have no money. They get every houshold to cough up council tax and or business rates every month so how on earth can they say they have no money????
We know you have money OUR money and all we want is a proper service. IF you cannot do the job i suggest you stand down and let a private company do it on a retainer scheme. I bet every road would be gritted and salt put down then!

I have had to take John Lewis PLC to county court for not fixing my Toshiba Teleivision Properly under their so called 5 years Guarantee. Its WORTHLESS, just a selling point of SALE JARGON.
I sent them my reciept and then heard nothing! Then i complained and they sent someone out to collect my tv and gave me a loan tv untill my one was fixed.
I then got a call to say my tv was fixed. When they dropped it off i noticed straight away it had a crack on the top casing and a piece visibly missing. Not only that they said they wanted to take their tv back. I refused to accept my broken tv as the picture was not proper as it should be, pixels were missing and the fact that it was damaged.
I sent a letter to their managing director and they had the audacity to say they wanted £600 for the loan tv because i didnt give it back. Anyway, i issued a law suit againt the Managing Director of the whole company, in his name. That made them sit up and listen a bit but they had it changed at court to J L PLC.
They refuse to give me £1300 back which i paid for the tv and say its over 5 years old but cannot prove this at all. Hence i will be fighting my case in High Wycombe county couRt in Feb 2010
SO JOHN LEWIS PLC HIGH WYCOMBE BRANCH.
YOU ARE NOT SO GOOD AFTER ALL.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE OF HIGH WYCOMBE WHO HAVE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AT THE JOHN LEWIS HIGH WYCOMBE BRANCH WITH REGARDS TO THE "SO CALLED"5 YEAR GUARANTEE ON THEIR TELEVISION SETS
