The council said the business does not have the right to use mechanical washing, vacuuming or motorized equipment. Further, the wash is not supposed to have adverts up and it is supposed to clean up all equipment at the end of the day.
One resident complained that he has been looking at the equipment at the wash since May. “It has been waking me up at weekends and the council has been doing absolutely nothing,” Martin Watson, a neighbor of the carwash, said in the story.
