Isuzu horse float has been parked on the street for more than a month?! It has not been moved at all and has cobwebs all over it. It is parked in a way that makes it difficult reversing with a clear safe view of oncoming traffic from the properties at 28, 30 and 32. It is a double height vehicle and an eyesore it also prevents the efficient collection of waste bags and bins etc on refuse collection days. We believe this vehicle produces a hazard when turning into the street, especially after dark as it is parked right near the corner. It is also a hazard, as our street is on a bus route and with the horse float parked out from the curb and with another car across the road our road becomes very narrow and in effect a one way street. It become dangerous as cars zoom around the corner off Stanley ave and it obstructs the view of oncoming waiting or speeding traffic. According to Auckland City Bylaw No. 25 - Traffic; this horse float is in violation as it is being stored instead of being used for travel. We would appreciate it being moved as we are sick of the view of it and also the hazards. Stopping, loading and parking 25.8.2c Keeping vehicles other than for purposes of travel: Without the permission of the council, keep any vehicle, trailer or vehicle and trailer parts stationary in any road or public place other than for bona fide travel purposes and stoppages related to travel.
