I am with the company on this one. If they have had their site access blocked by selfish and inconsiderate amazon drivers then they may have tried to go through the "correct" channels, ie: the council , who are probably still dithering and wringing their hands about "ooh, we may have to be put in the position of having to make a decision, oooooohh, what are we going to do?" malarky. Sometimes direct action is needed to force an issue regardless of some petty by-law or dictat so fair play for taking the law "into their own hands" as you say. Maybe if we had more people in this country like these who are just prepared to get on with things then we wouldn't be in the position of being a trodden down pathetic little whinging shithole of a country which we most certainly currently are.
So by that reasoning, them selfishly and inconsiderately blocking parking for members of the public that may want to park is OK! I get what your saying but it still doesn't give them the right to restrict others!
This video makes me think that it might be good to do some "Revisited" videos, to check up on previous problems that you've found, if they've been corrected and to see what the difference is now. i e.. The video from Jardine BMW, the 2 plastic pellet spills and so on. Just a thought.
I concur . It has been plaguing my mind since that video, actually 2 vids now where those pellets have been .. well Everywhere they shouldnt be to say the least . Shit like this pisses me off beyond words . I would have made it a Mission to destroy that behavior . I would really like to see Dj and others re-visit and make it a point to do so on a bi-weekly basis or weekly even . Dont let these fux destroy what little we have left of safe, clean and potable drinking water and the destruction of wildlife whom unwittingly ingest these foreign particles . They need to be held to account . If i worked in those places i would clean it up Myself, during breaks or on my days off with some like minded folk . I do it all the time Now and im disabled . No Excuse in my book for it to happen, someone needs to have their ears boxed a few times to ring the bell loud enough so they can hear .
@@PicnicAtTheTesco If i wasnt in Canada mate... Id have gathered up a crew of auditors and environmental concerned locals and make that place regret its choices.

Government is far busy with other bullshit, they cant be arsed to do something and accomplish a simple task . Looking fwd to revisit videos . Cheers
I worked for Amazon and the yard marshalls don't allow u on the yard early to load so the drivers park up outside everyone else's building lol. Even tho Amazon's yard is big enough to create lanes for drivers to park in
@@astrogerard I totally agree, and I hope DJ follows up balanced. (I’m sure he will.) Anyone meeting a wall of bureaucratic sponge walls, have to like guys like Tony, just willing to break the rules making sure the world moves.
@@eb4661 DJ himself is a supporter of bureaucratic sponge walls, he loves all that shite, having a forward facing person of the company, a nice long company policy etc, he's a supporter of the shithole corp world and expects it all to work but unforutnately not everyone gives a shit as much as him about 'policy or procedure' or their jobs etc
I can see the guys point , but anybody official " will say you are taking the law into your own hands " simple " would a judge in a court of law be on your side 🤔
The company should be on at the council every single day until something is done To be fair they have tried but maybe now they’ll keep on at the local authorities
I actually felt sorry for Tony he seemed a nice guy he was trying his best to keep the business going without disruption. I agree there is a better way of solving the parking dilemma & it just needs to done legally.
You ain't determined enough with them, give councils no choice but to act make it plain and clear they work for you and should do as there told, accept no shit from them
I agree. For example. A local school near where I live has issues with parking. People turn around in the gateway and nearly run over pedestrians, people drive up on the grass and destroy it. The school has put them no waiting cones on the no stopping lines and the caretakers asked the council to repaint the lines and install signs and they just ignored them. Tony did say they have gone to the council, the police and Amazon and nothing has been done. So I can understand why they put cones there. Dealing with the council is frustrating as you mentioned. Dealing with the council can be frustrating as you said. But I think the budget cuts may have something to do with it though.
You can understand where he is coming from but as you say, they need to take it through the proper channels. They were OK about it but probably not happy someone has highlighted what they feel they have been forced into by the inaction of the council. It's a difficult one but the council need to do something, not just ignore the problem and hope it goes away!
First time I have ever disagreed with you dj, this company were obviously trying to do what’s best! Sometimes a bit of common sense and compassion goes a long way
There were about 2 lorries worth of cones just put down too obviously make clear for their car park. Its was made out they blocked the whole road full of cones... I'd say around 20-30 cones were out and all places in a way so their own lorries and traffic are able to use their company site in a safe way. This was the first DJ audits video I've watched that was made into something absolutely petty and looking for a argument. Not happy, not happy at all.
Regardless of what the company thinks is best it is a criminal offence to obstruct the highway so they should not be doing that. Up to 51 weeks prison or a fine or both is the penalty. Someone going for a early morning / evening run, decides to cross over the road through the cones, doesn't see the rope could have a very nasty fall.
Thought it was a bit unfair to try and stick it to him, yes your technically right but the guy has tried to resolve it through the proper channels and seemed a pretty reasonable guy. He interacted with you well even though you was threating you would move his cones.
Yeah completely, I was not so happy with this video, amazon is one of the biggest companies in whole world, this company is probably just a UK based company and amazon are taking the piss out of it. This video is the first I've disagreed about. I didnt think DJ would behave like that with such a smaller company against amazon. Yeah technically right but not on going on and on about it. I feel for the guy.
No proof they’ve tried to approach council. They denied even doing it at first. We’d all like to put cones up to prevent parking outside our places but that would be chaos.
It's a shame when they build these industrial estates no area is set aside for drivers to take breaks. As a former Multi-Drop Van Driver it was sometimes not easy to find a layby to take a lunch break in.
Just think of the problems endured by the drivers of articulated trucks! Finding a place to park is the first problem. Finding a SAFE place to park is the next...
??? rearly ??? here we got plenty of space for big hauling trucks.... but i am in Germany, we do things different, like not Brexshit or silly Tories in charge!
You want to try abnormal load driving that's even worse to get parked up, with cars and caravans trucks etc all parking in abnormal load bays at services and then no where at all to park on industrial estates.
TONY the plant manager… you have MY FULL SUPPORT, Tony you were very professional and courteous. Tony you are a true CREDIT to your Company ! AJ you are getting TOO harsh with respectable people. My family can’t believe how you treat some people who are just trying to get with an often difficult life. PLEASE GO EASY on people and just go back to doing what you first started doing .. flying the drone and filming yourself without rubbing people up the wrong way! Tony is one such case who deserves Respect And an Apology AJ. sorry that’s my opinion.
As a truck driver myself...its hard to find somewhere to park. Industrial estates like this are normally the one place we can find parking. Unfortunately a lot of estates are now going no parking, giving no places to park even for a legally required break. In this situation common sense would say to have one side as no parking, keeping the other side available. So sick and tired of all the anti truck opinion
Im afraid your wrong on this one DJ ,persecuting the poor guy over the cones is a step too far ,he's tried the right way and it failed ,leave him alone .
We managed to persuade the council to put double yellows outside of our unit as we had the same problem. The truck drivers take absolutely no notice anyway, and neither do the police.
actually you could argue that the entrance is somewhat tight for a large HGV, but there is plenty of room to widen it, which would solve the access problem, if there is one
To be honest I'd do the same as Graphib Packaging in attempt to stop these Amazon wagons parking. Sick to death of Amazon and other big major corps wanting to squeeze out the smaller business's. If any viewers have an Amazon factory set up near you you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
Tony sounded like a decent guy,he is between a rock and a hard place,bit of a catch 22 for him,the police won't care and I doubt the council will neither, interesting one this one 🤔 hope it gets sorted for Tony 👍
DJ there is no need to behave in the manner you do with the likes of Tony, he was a gentleman and was trying to explain that the logistic business is extremely busy and cannot have any obstructions at there entrance which will cause a standstill. They clearly have a history of this hassle in the past which you have no idea about, he is not being selfish and you could actually argue it's the other way about... I hate to say it but you have let yourself down with this one, just because of you handled the conversation with Tony.
Im with Tony He has A business, employees, customers, to consider if some inconsiderate driver wants to park in a compromising/Dangerous position Entry / Departure point should they have a License
You just saw that bloody lorry coming out, he had to come right out to turn !! If a vehicle was parked opposite he could not turn. Where's your common sense man. Doh. ☹️
I think that DJ is getting too arrogant in his recent videos. My advice for all those workers and security personnel is not to engage with these fake “auditors”. They should simply ignore them or tell them to buzz off and mind their own business. These fakers are only interested in clicks and making money, not in helping anyone.
DJ coming across as a pedantic whopper in this one. Tony seemed reasonable and fed up with the council....as are most people who deal with the council.
Yeh. DJ still has got a lot to learn. Still falling for the whole sustainable energy BS etc. Comes across as being very young. Naivity causes pedantic behaviour
Hang about! 1. if the cones are taking up the space that a car would take, and 2. a truck can still get out. Then what is the points of the cones in the first place.
What I don't understand is the cone placement. The cones come out to the same line as the parked cars, so I don't think it was that much of a problem. If a lorry was parked there, then maybe it would be a bit tight. All said surely it is the business is the one with the problem and could be easily rectified by widening the entrance of their road. I am a stubborn mule and I would move the cones out of the way in order to park.
I like some of your videos, however you was out of order on this one. It's the councils who don't act to resolve issues like this. All businesses have issues like this, including your own. I'm still subscribed but please target the real bad guys. This guy was very pleasant and you didn't need to push him.
Tony is correct and as a HGV driver hes done the right thing, regardless if its right or not, Police 9/10 wont bother getting cars lorries or vans moved anyway.
My neighbour did something like this outside his house. He put some signs lying that he was disabled. The council fined him a lot. I wonder why they're getting away with it? He admitted it's been there for years. Good evidence.
At 11:37 the BIG red lorry didn't have any problem leaving the premises and was nowhere near the cones. I suspect they just didn't like the look of the Amazon vans outside and maybe any rubbish they left. As far as I'm concerned if I pay road tax then I should be able to park anywhere there are no restrictions to park.
@@paulmulks It is emissions tax but you need to pay it to drive on the road. Take your car on a trailer to a race track and you can race all day without paying this emissions tax. Government have names for lots of taxes and charges that are cleverly named to hide the real truth.
@@paulmulks Vehicle tax is a tax that is levied as an excise duty (hence the name Vehicle Excise Duty) and must be paid for vehicles that are to be driven (or parked) on UK public roads. Vehicle Tax was first introduced in the 1888 budget and is also used to pay for the roads.
I'm a trucker. There would be no problem turning in or out of that business. However if cars parked on the edge of the entrance then it would be , but I think any junctions like that then the highway code says you should not park with 15 yards if a junction.
I like you, DJ, and I consume all of your content but, bloody Hell mate, you can be a right little snitch sometimes. You sound like a wannabe copper sometimes with your self-importance. Everything Tony said was reasonable and it would have been more appropriate of you to agitate the council for a solution here rather than prattling on as if you're an over-zealous council inspector. But that wouldn't create the conflict you're looking for would it?
Tony made his point passionately, and I think this has been done out of frustration of not being listened to by the council/highways depts. However this is not the solution. A risk assessment can not have been done, and if someone does not see the string between the cones and trips into the path of an LGV, then it could be fatal. Then the authority's would be involved and as an ex transport manager, I can tell you when one of your lorries is involved in a fatal, everyone comes out the woodwork . Maybe DJ power can help a resolution to be found for this. Do your best DJ
I usually agree with you DJ but not this time, for several reasons, although the company should keep on complaining to the council so they could eventually remove the cones.
By law, anyone in the UK with a car can park it outside any house or business in the UK, unless the council or police have done anything to overule it in a specific location. This reminds me of a lot of shops in my area, sectioning off an area of public pavement that was built for the public to walk on, to make a front yard/garden area outside of their shop, causing an obstruction to any public that just want to walk along their own public pavement.
@@markossmith8786 Only one is a restaurant, and i've never seen anyone out there eating pollution infested food from the very busy main road. That one is on a corner, so even more of a pavement obstruction.
It's obvious he's tried the official channels - I think DJ is being unreasonable on this one - the company is so desperate they've had to do this - just leave them alone unless you are going to petition the council yourself and help them out to get double yellows. What's the alternative? Let all the Amazon vans block the road so they go out of business because the lorries can't get out?
DJ's Audit will send this business into administration, that's a good thing, we can't stop members of the public from parking their cars in a random industrial estate in the middle of nowhere!
@@123MondayTuesday we all know what the real issue is here - Amazon is WAAAAAAAYYYYYY too powerful a company for the council to want to do anything to restrict their drivers from doing anything they want all the time - and the Police would be the same, no way they're going to prosecute Amazon drivers for blocking the road, they don't even turn up for burglaries anymore, only people taking pictures :-)
Sorry DJ, I don’t see the issues with cones stopping people parking there, end of the day some drivers are inconsiderate.. all that will happen now is the council will come double yellow line it … I really don’t understand issues with cones
I used to live in Latvia. Their road rules says that you can't park within 5m or 10m of junctions and also you can't park front of the junctions. That would resolve some ridiculous and sometimes dangerous parking in the UK.
Council wont help , i work in a place that has the same probs .The council wont help at all . I think DJ you got this one wrong , been there and done it . I think you are just being slightly petty .
To make a suggestion, why not get the company to redesign the entrance instead of the public loosing parking spaces ,its not their property .I would move them back to their property
I do love these videos and you give these people good advice even if they don't want to hear it, and even when pushed you try to keep your cool. Some people react badly and show up their company but some see you as a positive thing and openly welcome you and sometime we learn more about what they do they make us want to know more about them!? As for the illegal obstruction of the road I do hope that you contacted and reported someone about these cones. This is one of the reasons you don't contact them before hand I could imagine them removing them before you come and putting them back once you go !?
Perhaps if you worked there you might understand. It used to be chaos before the cones were placed. Not only that, it was absolutely filthy, with food , litter, urine and god knows what else being dumped out of drivers windows. Easy to judge though ehhh if you have no Idea what's going on.
If the system wont help you, help yourself. I agree with Tony. You should remain independent during your investigation rather than blaming the packaging company. You were out of order, the cones were causing no problems that should concern you.
Not just here. There are other Amazon depots where the drivers park up and block the road. One near me has double yellows and is also a Clearway, and they still do it.
see both sides, I 100% agree with DJ, If anything, they could have them cones further towards the Pavement and remove the Rope and weight them down. I sympathise with the Company, ,but 2 wrongs don't make a right.
I am with GRAPHIC PACKAGING on this one Tony seemed a very reasonable guy. AMAZON think they can do what the hell they like! Let them sort their own parking out! AMAZON think they rule the bloody World well they DON'T!!!!!!
All they need is double yellows opposite the entrance/exit and maybe 30 feet either side of the entrance they don't need to be blocking the whole road off. I were an amazon driver who wanted to park up there I'd just move the cones and park.
If theirs a problem with wagons coming in out why doesn't company make their OWN entrance more practical for the type of vehicles they know are coming in and out
I see Tony's point, I am on his side, he is right, but nobody can just decide to take control of the public highway, the attitude and mentality is beyond understanding. Tony needs to pursue this legally, properly, I recognise his frustrations totally, councils aren't the most intelligent of people, if they can't make money out of it they generally choose to ignore, in my opinion. Worst scenario, somebody turns up, they decide to park there and move the cones, they are within the rules of the law, somebody like Tony takes offence, the whole situation escalates. I only say this because I know road law, if I go anywhere and theres anything blocking the road illegally, I move it, and report it.
They have plenty of room there to extend their entrance and make it easier for trucks to get in and out. Even coning off 1 side of the road is fair but both? ... and they'll be having a big claim against them if anyone trips over that rope.
Thing is I totally understand where this guys coming from, DJ is also right , its not the right thing to do to put cones on the public highway, but if its continually lined with amazon vans , who litter and dump waste, then I can totally see that what he has done seems to be making an improvement, this is what happens when police and councils ignore valid complaints. A re-visit would be good.
We had the same issue at our site with inconsiderate drivers parking right up to the entrance. This meant little or no visibility when people left our site . The council said they can't put double yellows down as it's a business park and the cops attended once.
I think Tony kept his cool talking to Mr anonymous. You spook to him in such a condescending manner. Did you think you were on police duty. I do wonder how many people complained to him about the parking. none!!!!! He is wondering around looking for things to complain about. Very annoying
