MOVE ASSURED UPDATE We have had so many conflicting reports of what can and cant be done, both legally and morally, and it now appears that we have clarification. We have been in contact with many sources throughout the day and from what we understand this is the position at this moment. Removals in general are not classed as essential and the police now have the powers to stop and issue penalties. We understand that they are trying to implement this in a structured way. On this first day they are setting up roadside checks for all vehicles. Any removal vehicle will be told to return straight to their base with a warning. We can see that this will escalate very quickly into a fine. The police have been given these powers and that is fact no matter what we see on news bulletins. This has been confirmed by one member being turned round and many others contacting the police direct. Now that this has been confirmed as the' law ' there should be no question of breach of contract being cited in respect of booked moves not going ahead. Morally, we want you and your families to all stay safe and well. We will all be stronger for all of this. STAY HOME STAY SAFE ❤️ #teamassured #moveassuredfamily

Paul dunning. Why don't you join a removals forum and find out. 15 companies i know personally in the NEast have stopped. I have no pleasure in telling you the story being stopped by police. Why would i? We've lost, potentially 1 month of work. The majority of forum member are suspending operations. Ive also been inundated with calls off worried customers that have been told their company wont be working this week. I sincerely hope there's a resolution for yous all

Why would i scaremonger. Im trying to advise people of the situation from a removals perspective. Stop being so selfish thinking your move is paramount and a minimum wage porter is happy to risk his life fto conclude your move. Would you go and help someone in the current lockdown?

My story is from a large company down south (Plymouth). Posted onto a removals and storage forum this morning. Ive been a member for years and we've been discussing it since yesterday . So dince i posted this youve ask a policeman whether its true? Your story doesnt seem to stack up

Delivering essential items is how i read it

I agree Miles. Not many companies now are going to risk their employees lives just to keep their customers happy (as harsh as that sounds) some employees are on minimum wage and also dont want to work

Most arent im afraid. Is there any hire vans available incase yous are stuck?

You may agree but for the majority of removals companies, the risk is too great. Some will only be charging a couple of hundred to risk the health and their employees health

Apparently a removals company was threatened with a 1k fine by the police today

Hi. Not many companies are risking the virus to complete moves. The majority of them have temporarily suspended operations since yesterday. Its just too risky, they dont see themselves as key workers and cant adhere to the 2metre rule carrying a chest of draws etc. Ive also been informed that a removals company was stopped by police today and was told if he continued, he'd receive a 1k fine. Hope yous get sorted, its a very stressful time for us all
