For months there has been a mysterious trailer without a license plate on the parking lane between the N65 and Udenhout. The trailer appears to be filled with old and broken fridges and the owner is nowhere to be found. Local resident André made a report to the municipality and contacted the local police officer, but the trailer is still there.
It is a crazy face and many motorists will have noticed in recent months. There is a trailer without license plates on the parking lane along the Kreitenmolenstraat in Udenhout. André, who drives on the road every day between his house and his company, soon noticed the trailer. “The first time I passed, I didn’t think about it. But after a while I started to find it a bit strange,” he says.
André decided at the beginning of May to report about the trailer at Fixi, a platform used by the municipality of Tilburg to give residents the opportunity to make reports about public space. For example, you can point out a broken lamppost or loose sidewalk tiles.
The Fixi team could not mean anything for André and referred him to the police. He sent an e-mail to the local police officer, but also received no response after a memory. “The trailer has been there for three months now,” he says surprised. He does not understand how the trailer can stand on the parking lane for so long, without anyone looking at it.
To his surprise, his wife saw people from the municipality on Wednesday afternoon at the trailer. “There were two containers and people from the municipality were busy loading things from the trailer. This morning the containers were gone again, but the trailer is still there.”
61 refrigerators
A spokesperson for the municipality of Tilburg confirms that the municipality is aware of the abandoned trailer. “Enforcement has been set up and on Wednesday the Brabants Waste Team 61 old refrigerators and 4 tires removed from the trailer.”
Whoever is the owner of the trailer remains unknown for the time being. “We were unable to find out the current owner. The truck should have been exported to Guinea,” says a spokesperson for the municipality. It is vaguely visible on the side that there were once the letters on TDG, probably referring to a French transport company.
The municipality says that the trailer will be removed on Monday. Then the parking lane will be free again.
