Before you start, things you need to know:

Abandoned vehicles on private land need to be removed by the landowner.

You will need to tell us:

  • exact location of the vehicle (for example outside 10 Church Road, rather than just Church Road)
  • make and model of vehicle (for example Ford Focus)
  • colour of vehicle

  • general condition of the vehicle (for example burnt out)
