I don't want my car anymore, will you take it away?
The council will dispose of your car, as long as you provide your log book to prove it is yours. There is a fee of £42 for this.
Do you refer untaxed vehicles that have an owner to the DVLA?
The council refers all untaxed vehicles to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). All untaxed vehicles will be treated similarly to abandoned vehicles. They will be removed and their owners will be charged for the tax, collection and disposal.
Why are there so many abandoned vehicles on the road?
There are a variety of reasons why people choose to abandon their car, including maintenance costs and failure to pass the MOT.
