Abandoned vehicles
Service outline:
If you see a vehicle that you think has been abandoned you should report it to the police.
They can then make the relevant checks to ascertain whether the vehicle has been stolen and establish who is the current keeper.
If the vehicle is confirmed to be abandoned, the police will contact the local authority requesting the issue of a 24 hour removal notice.
The service operates in accordance with the prescribed procedures and was developed in partnership with the police.
