Abandoned Vehicles
The Council operates a service to investigate alleged
abandoned vehicles and, if appropriate, to arrange for their
removal and disposal.
This process is carried out under the authority of the Refuse
Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978.
A vehicle that is deemed to be abandoned, depending on
circumstances, will be issued with a notice giving the owner a
specific time period in which to claim ownership. Following that
period, the vehicle will be removed to storage and subsequent
disposal.
