Abandoned vehicle

Vehicles abandoned on any land in the open air can be investigated and if appropriate may be removed.  The permission of the landowner is required before abandoned vehicles can be removed from private land.

We will investigate vehicles reported as abandoned on local roads or property (usually including private property).
