Update - Apparently, the Council has traced the owner of the vehicle and he has received verbal and written warnings because they say the vehicle is being 'stored' rather than 'parked' on the road. They have received reports of at least 3 other vehicles that he has dumped in the area and it sounds like they are expecting to take legal action against him.
