Report an abandoned vehicle

We are able to investigate and remove abandoned vehicles that have been illegally left by their owners on council owned land and not been used for a period of time.

This does not include vehicles being stored or used by the owner on the public highway.

You should contact the police if a vehicle is:

• Obstructing the public highway.
• A hazard to road users.

Otherwise to report an abandoned vehicle please tell us:

• Make and model of vehicle,
• Registration,
• Location,
• Condition,
• How long the vehicle has been there (if known).

It will also be necessary to provide your own contact details.

• To avoid any damage to reported vehicles we do not place any form of notice on the vehicle until all proper checks have been processed. A seven days notice will then be placed on  the windscreen.
• Removal of abandoned vehicles can take several weeks.
