  You have hit on a item that I have raised with the police to no avail. That is the foreign vehicles that are here not as "tourists" but having been in regular locations for some two plus years and are obviously working here (or illegal working and maybe even benefiting from social handouts etc) and possibly not contributing anything to this country.
  
  I have regular contact with "tourists" in cars and so often when welcoming occupants of foreign registered vehicles to this country and seeking that they are on holiday only to be informed "we live and work here".
  
  The details of vehicles have been given to our PCSO by more than one resident as well as being raised with an Inspector at Dover Police Station and no feed back or action, these are not just Eastern Block countries but French/Belgian and German.
  
  I had a period of having to visit France a couple of times per week and where I parked my car near my hotel after three or so weeks I had a notice on the windscreen to contact the police as I was considered as "working in France" and my vehicle should be relicenced in France
  
  What is of concern is that I doubt if these vehicles have insurance and of course what loss (nationally) to the exchequer. One such Polish registered vehicle even had a DHB "SD" sticker on it and now has a "Canterbury University Car Park" sticker on it.
