Abandoned vehicles

The Council has the power to remove any vehicle that it considers to be abandoned.

Removal of abandoned car

We have introduced a 'Vehicle Amnesty' scheme offering owners free collection and disposal of unwanted vehicles.

Under this popular scheme, owners can contact the council and arrange to have an unwanted vehicle towed away and disposed of. The owner must agree to legally 'surrender' the car.

A simple form needs to be completed  - these are available from the Customer Service Centre at the Town Hall; by calling tel: 01923 235946 or can be downloaded from the Related items panel on the right hand side of the page.

For information on reporting an abandoned vehicle please follow the link 'Abandoned vehicles - reporting and procedures'  below.
