Clifton Lane residents Don and Daphne Leech are unhappy that cars abandoned in the street by a neighbour could be removed under the States’ bulk refuse scheme. They say Ondrej Faborsky, who is claiming ownership of the parking spaces, should pay. (Picture by Peter Frankland, 0632284)

A LANDLORD who dumped cars in Clifton Lane should pay for their removal himself, according to a resident.

Don Leech said Ondrej Faborsky, who is claiming ownership rights to parking spaces in the area, was planning to have cars he put there removed via the States’ bulk refuse scheme.

‘My wife and I are disgusted that people like us, as taxpayers, will be paying for it in a roundabout way,’ he said. ‘The cars were not dumped there by anyone else and he [Mr Faborsky] should pay to have them moved.’

The St Peter Port thoroughfare is currently the subject of an ownership dispute.

Mr Faborsky claims to own at least one-twelfth of the lane, which he said gives him the right to make the parking spaces terres a l’amende. An application to that effect is currently before the Royal Court and the case has been adjourned.
