Abandoned Vehicles
Abandoned vehicles being left on the roads are not only
dangerous, but they also make our streets look untidy.
You can help us to get these unsightly and potentially dangerous
vehicles removed. The Council has a duty to remove abandoned
vehicles which have been left within the borough. This
includes parking bays, the road itself, public open spaces and any
adjacent Highway verges. We also have a duty to remove abandoned
vehicles from private land, once we have permission from the land
owner.
Upon receiving a report of an abandoned vehicle an officer will
visit the vehicle, where necessary a notice is then placed on the
vehicle giving any interested persons the opportunity to remove the
vehicle. When the required time period has elapsed the
vehicle is then either removed and stored or removed and destroyed.
Enquiries are made via the
DVLA and police to ascertain the last registered owner or if the
vehicle and whether it has
been reported stolen
You can report the details to us by using the
following methods:
